Glue?
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, November 7, 2003 7:36 PM
What Kind of glue do you all use? I have been using the testors in the black bottle but it is getting a little to exspensive. Could I use crazy glue of any type? I don't want to ruin any plastic.

Let me tell you my glues of choice and what I use them for. I like CA (super glue) for glueing dissimilar materials together, quick assembly, or for gap filling. I like Ambroid or Tenax (the thin stuff) for general assembly. I use two part epoxy for glueing dissimilar materials when strength of the join or open time (the time it takes the glue to set) is an issue. Elmers white glue is useful for attaching canopies. I hope this helps some.

HEY,
I tend to use super glue for metal or chrome plated parts and i use the testors in the red metal tube. Works pretty good for me.

I like to use super glue in all assemblies except when joining pieces like engine halves, where I use Tenax. Elmer's for clear parts.
that which doesn't make us irate or irritated, has probably been thrown against the wall.

Tenax is the best when it comes to plastic to plastic bonds. It is strong and fast.

BTW, this is about the ten dozenth time this thread has been posted. I would encourage you to do a search for "glue" in this forum. There are many good glues used out there for all sorts of applications. Take a good look at the answers, then try something you find interesting. Experiment a little, and let us know what you've found that really works well for you! Good luck! Smile [:)]
