Favorite glue?

[Jaymes]

I know there's already a thread on glue, but I just wanted to know what glue everyone uses...brand and what it's called.


I use Testor's glue in the blue tube. This stuff is terrible. Everything I glue falls off with a slight tap but it sure ignites like no other

Tenax-7r is the best in my opinion

Testor's liquid glue in the black kite-shaped bottle with the red label.

Same here.

I mostly use epoxy. CA glue and I just don't see eye to eye.

When gluing two pieces of styrene together seamlessly, I use Faller Expert styrene cement.

I use that too, or Humbrol clear glue

Anyway I always put some glue on a paper then use a small peice to put the paint on the kit.

Humbrol precision poly cement !! (blue bottle with yellow cap)
the precision of glue you can put is simply amazing

I use several different glues depending on the application. I use Testors Liquid Cement in the black plastic bottle, Ambroid Pro Weld, and my favorite is Devcon 5 minute epoxy. I use CA for some things but it is not my favorite.

i usually use the Testors glue in the orange tube

or super glue if its for some thing that no body will see

[mikemechanic]

99% of the time super glue. It's sandable, strong and if applied correctly invisible.

The other 1% of the time testors liquid brush on glue.

Future for photo-etch emblems.

I use the revell glue with a metal nozzle because its all i can get and its cheap too. For clear parts i use humbrol clearfix.

[lotus_man]

For styrene I use Slaters MekPak. Fast flashing and brutal on platic.

CA wize I use various grades of Xa depending on the job, usually the thick stuff but I also have very thin and non-fogging.

Epoxy wise I have devcon 5 minute, and 6 and 24 hour Arldite.

For glazing I stick with some brand-x 'Cockpit' glue I found in a radio controlled plane shop. It's like very stron white glue that thins with water but dries totally clear. It kinda like a huge bottle of Krytal Klear but way cheaper. I also keep a tub of contact adhesive to hand for BBR's etched metal/flat acetate windows.

Then there's always gloss varnish which I use some time for finishinh peices on bodies.

It's horses for courses really, I don't find that there is one wonder glue that does it all.

ok what ever u say

the blue tube takes way too look drying time

the orange still takes a while but is quicker, and ive been using it for aobut 2 years, not only for model cars, but model trains, and some little pieces of art work that i do, never had a problem with it

Glue in tube (like Testor) IS the first way to scrap a model. I stop used it at 13 years old
