Why did you use glue? I have great result by mixing it withe paint, or spraying a heavy layer of paint and then using that as the "glue".

Are you doing a luftwaffe impression?because that is the number for a Luftwaffe helmet.
If you doing a w.ss or heer impression better to paint in ral6006 with aluminum texture.
