Tried a new glue today

(Just started a seperate thread about this......taken from one of my others)

I tryed this new glue today from the model shop in town and it puts the Tamiya stuff to shame...and only half the price !!
It's a water like glue. You assemble the parts together first (unpainted), then you use a brush to brush the glue on. Now being like water it travels along the join line. You hold it together for 30secs and its done.....fantastic !!
Its great for doing engine halfs. Put the engine halfs together, brush the glue on, watch it flow along the join line and its done. You can then sand the join line after 2-3 minutes and it works almost like a small putty filler giving a perfect "no seam line finish"
The only sad thing about this glue is that it is only made by the model shop i visit at home here.
The other good thing about it is that when you have finished you can brush the remaining glue over you fingers and blow on it and it evaporates away with no sign of any marks on your skin...or just blow on the paint brush, then you can use it for painting !!
The Tamiya EVO im doing....i assembled the whole body with it before painting etc (Front and rear bumbers and skirts)
This is the stuff here...
