Re: question about glue
No. Micro-Weld is for styrene solvent based glue. It melts the plastics and fuses to pieces together. CA's only glue hard surfaces together and do not penetrate or melt the styrene.

Re: question about glue
But if you using it to glue bare plastic to bare plastic (alot of what you're doing in modelbuilding), yes Microweld is an excellent glue. This is how all plastic cement works (Tamiya, Testors, Revell, etc). It is very good for modeling, yes better than superglue (CA).
It just cannot be used on different types of materials like CA. If you need to gue photoetch, resin, cast metal, etc, you'll need smoething like CA (or epoxy, white glue, watch crystal cement...).
