I used both Testors tube and liquid cement(which one I use depends on what I need to get the results I want) and a good CA glue, of course

I voted for Ambroid Pro Weld but also Testors tube glue.

I generally use Testors tube cement but also gap-filling CA. For resin I use Quik-Cure 5 or 15 minute epoxies depending on how much monkeying around I need to do.

I'll have to agree with having no single "favorite" cement. For me, the best cement depends on the application. I use Testor's liquid, Tamiya liquid, Tenex, Ambroid, and even Testor's tube glues. Of course you'd also have to toss in clear glues, CA glue, Bindex, Future (yes, for cementing parts together), and even Elmer's white glue. As I said, it all depends on the application...

Don't know what I would do without Tenax, but it's no good for attaching small parts or canopies. I use Tenax, Testors liquid, Zap-A-Gap CA,& white glue in most of my builds.

Krazy Glue and Testors Clear cement are all I use now. I gave up on plastic cement a long time ago.

I use a bunch: Tamiya, Tamiya Extra Thin, Testors Liquid, Testors tube, Flash medium thick CA, and Formula 560 Canopy glue. I use them when appropriate. I find the Testors Liquid is somewhere between Tamiya and Tamiya Extra Thin in thickness. CA glue I use for sticking PE and plastic (and my fingers) together, as well as gap filling where putty isn't useful.

So long folks!

Tenax for me, or if I run out of that, Ambroid Pro-Weld. Either work great in my opinion.

Personally i prefer the Tamiya normal and the Testors tube stuff (yes I do use tube glue still). Considering those are the only things I can get in my area.Smile [:)]
