I was a Testors guy myself. It was cheaper, but a smaller tube. Once I got to where I could afford it, and into heavier flying models (the RC stuff) I did move to Ambroid. I also remember Lepage. I think Lepage was marketed as a general purpose cement, whereas Testors sold theirs as Model Airplane Cement.

Man, I hadn't even thought of that glue since forever. That goes back to the old Strombecker solid models I cut my eye teeth on, 70 years ago.
I still have the remnants of a few, the Convair, a float plane and a bi-plane. Thanks for the post, it made for some nice recollections.

Sort of reminds me of the C Rations they used to give us.
I emember doing those old wooden kits. On the bigger ones you had to put weights in the hole in the bottom of the fuselage and seal the plug before more sanding. Then there was teh decals for windows and pins to hold teh props.
littletimmyI'm almost positive that this stuff was what I ate ..... in kindergarden.
WHAT?!?! I was supposed to stop eating that stuff after kindergarten?
Does this mean I have to thow mine out?
PS, remember the lids with the paddle applicators sticking out the underside?
Old timers like me do remember casein glue. Solid model kits came with it. It was in a small paper envelope- mix powder with water.
In those pre-plastic days, solid models (non-flying models) came as blocks of wood. You carved each block, then glued major parts together. Thing is, it took overnight to dry. So we always just threw that package in the trash and used model airplane glue.

Any old school cabinet shop had cans of the stuff.
It's completely non-toxic, which made it popular for school suppiles and water based paints before acrylics became prevalent.
Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

My thoughts exactly. I’m clueless how this is hobby related.....
Wasnt it also a type of wood glue used in aviation way back? Btw, how did the homemade pics sound?
Just heard of this milk based product. Apparently it is considered the queen of plastic, coming from a combination of milk and vinegar, heat then scraping the congealed stuff off the surface. Can be molded until it cools, takes pigments well, but needs formaldehyde to be fully sured.
A fellow on a guitar forum was talking about making his own picks with it- skim milk and vinegar in a saucepan over heat. Scraping the casein off as it formed, then smahing together the pieces, using a pick shaped press to form them.
Apparently there was also a kid's toy back in the day that sent more kids to the hospital with serious burns than anything else.
