                        Hi Rob! Welcome to the Forums! Glad to have you with us.

                        The glue I use is Tamiya Extra Thin with the green cap. The cap has a very fine brush built into the cap. You just hold the parts together with tape, clamps or rubber bands and brush the cement on the seam. It works by capilliary action.

                        Hope that this helps.

                        Jim  Captain

                        Stay safe.

                        I keep hitting "escape", but I'm still here.

                        Welcome aboard.

                        What sort of glue are you useing. Many, myself included, use thin glues or welds that can be brushed into joins and seams. Like you i am in the UK and use EMA Plastic Weld. Tamiya Extra Thin cement seems popular with a lot of people on here.

                        I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

                        Hi all.

                        I have just coem back to model making after a 35 year break.

                        So far I have made a P51D and  Mosquito.

                        Im learning as I go... but one thing that I am really getting stuck on is glue.

                        I have seen the amazing photo's of builds on teh forum and I cant see a drop of excess glue anywhere.... How is that done...

                        Can someone help me.. Many thanks, frustrated of Liphook, the UK.

                        All, stay well and safe at this crazy time.

                        Rob
