If you are talking brands of cements, I have been very happy with Humbrol Liquid Poly for plastic welding.  Seems to grab better than my Plastruct or Testors did.

When you say "types" rather than "brands", do you mean like solvent cement vs CA vs epoxy, etc.?

I have to add myself to the fan base of Tamiya Extra Thin. It's excellent, both the cement and the bottle/applicator. I also like Testors Liquid Cement in the odd-shaped black container with the metal applicator tube

I have Tamiya, Testors & Gunze cements.  I like Tamiya Regular and Extra Thin the best.  Gunze's Mr. Cement has a really terrible toxic smell, much worse than lacquer thinner.

I second the Tamiya Extra Thin Cement. I use it for everything involving plastic. If you can't get it, Gunze's Mr.Cement Deluxe is similar, but it smells a lot more.

I like Tamiya Extra thin - or if I can't find that I use MEK (methyl ethyl ketone but it's becoming hard to find as well). I also use white glue, epoxy, CA, TiteBond and watch crystal cement depending on the job.

My LHS recently stopped stocking my current glue of choice and I need to find a new supply.

What kinds of glue do you guys use and would recommend?

thanks for the replies!
