Glue and batteries aren't in the kit box. This pack has both, for less than buying them separately.
Tips for a smooth build
Dry-fit first
Slot each piece into place before you glue it. It's far easier to spot a misfit now than after it sets.
Test the lights early
Switch the lights on before you close up the walls and tuck the wiring away.
Go light on the glue
Thin layers dry cleaner and are much easier to correct if something shifts.
