I basically apply the Testors cement by placing the two parts together, and touching the brush to the joint/seam.   By doing that, the model does some of the work for you, because the seam has what is called "Capilary action" that allows a liquid to easily flow along the joint for a little bit. Just touch the brush to the seam about every inch or so, and that sould do it.

I've been using the methood ever since I started using Testor's liquid cement, and it has worked every time.

Well I was doing a web search for Tenax 7R and alot of sites and blogs were saying it has been discontinued, although I see that some places were still selling (maybe existing stock).

In addition, I found it interesting that the Testors website does not have the Model Masters Liquid Cement as an available product.

I bought this stuff at a local plastics supply company.  Stuff works reall well, behaves exactly like tenax 7, and costs a ton less.
