Try some 5 or 10 minute Epoxy that might work

I have tried the normal glue for kits I was wondering about white PVA glue.\ said:What have you tried so far? Epoxy is going to be a hell of a job to clean up around the seams!Steve

Try Some Gator Glue, that stuff will stick like Sh*t to a blanket!

I'm surprised that didn't work,they must have changed him since I built one of these. It was a long time ago.
I'd suggest cleaning up the surfaces to be joined as best you can and then trying superglue. Remember superglue goes off,so if you haven't got some on the go that you know is okay I'd get s fresh tube. White glue may work but it doesn't give the strongest joint.

None whatsoever, it is a nice acrylic/water based glue that sticks in minutes and can be cleaned without too much work if you use too much. I got mine from John here on the site.Might be worth getting some and giving it a go. Other than that the only othr suggestion is Super Glue but you know what that is like if you do not get the match of the parts first time:emo2:\ said:Is there any odour from it?
