cyanoacrylate glues

I like the Zap-A-Gap line. Great shelf life and user friendly bottles.

For thin glue, pour a littel bit out and transfer it with a toothpick., piece of wire or some stretched sprue. Some folks have suggested cutting a sewing needle across the eye to make a dispenser.

I agree.  I have had good luck with their "Plasti-Zap" specially formulated for plastic models.

I used 'em all (depending on availablility) and have found little difference between the major brands and types. Right now I have developed a fondness for loc-tite's CA's (and I think their bottles are just a bit better ).

Roger that.  I've used several 'name' brands of CA including Flash, Zap, the original Superglue, Loc-Tite, as well as some hobby-shop private label brands.  I found no significant difference between them.  I do stay away from some of the off-brand glues in the small lead tubes at the local dollar store. 

My current CA glue is Flash from Hobby Lobby.   Its inexpensive -- especially when you count the discount coupon (40% off this week!)
