tamiya makes two types of model glue. the tamiya cement comes in a white bottle with a large brush like the ones in the testors glue bottles. the other one is tamiya extra thin cement which comes in a green bottle and comes with an itsy-bitsy brush applicator under the cap. the tamiya cement is thicker and thus takes a bit of time to dry. this will leave a film of glue which you may sand down. the other one will not leave any residues as it only melts the plastic to be bonded and the excess just evaporates away. the price for the tamiya cements rival that of the plastistruct ones that i use. they run for about $3.50 - $3.75 USD. however, with the plastistruct, you get more for what you pay. for glues that evaporate in air at such a high rate, price per volume goes a long way! so keep those caps on until you're ready to use them otherwise you'll see half the bottle gone in about a weeks time!

ps...

the thing with califronia is that all carcinogenic materials are required by law to have a warning label. other states may not have this but lucky for us californians, we get a bit of heads up as to what we're dealing with.
