What kind of glue is best to use for plastic, resin and vinyl models? Currently, I'm working with plastic models and using tube model glue. thanks..

Resin needs either cyanoacrulic (super glue) or epoxy. Zap-A-Gap is my favorite superglue. Epoxy glues can be found in hardware stores. 5 minute epoxy has qick setting time and can be smoothed with water until it starts to set. . Tenax 7R is my favorite styrene cement. You'll find this and the Zap in a good hobby store. Plastruct Plastiweld is pretty good, too. In a pinch, Testors cottle cement is good, too. I apply these witha drafting pen since the brushes included are way too thick. I'm sure epoxy and superglue will work with vinyl since they don't weld the material as does plastic cement.

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.
