1 Cornbinder Report post Posted September 13, 2015 The Original Super Glue (two in a package for a buck at Dollar General), usually the thin stuff (red cap) but occasionally I'll use the gel (green cap). I use good old white craft glue for things like clear lenses. I also live dangerously sometimes and use it on clear parts, if the glue surface isn't exposed, in which case I'll revert to the white glue. Yes, cyanoacrylate glue can "fog" clear and chrome parts, but usually a quick swipe or two with a polishing cloth or a thin, brushed on coat of Pledge Future floor polish (or whatever clear you prefer to use) will do away with that. I used to use two-part epoxy but never liked it- just too messy for me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Joris Report post Posted September 11, 2015 I usually have the Revell of Germany glue, with the needle. The needle is for pinpoint application. Also superglue for resin and metal parts, but that just depends on what's available (and cheap)... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 ultraliner9 Report post Posted January 17, 2016 In all the years I have been modeling I have tried many types of glue. The glue that has never let me down is Tamiya Cement. The glue is clean and it doesn't stink out the house like some other glues. I also find I don't use as much glue and one bottle lasts quite a few kit sets. When I have made mistakes with gluing parts the Tamiya has been very forgiving John 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
