Hi Monica,

You can use any normal styrene glue - in my post I used Tamiya extra thin cement, but previously I've used Revell Contacta cement like this one :

Its thin enough to get in the cracks. I wouldn't recommend using glue from a tube as its too thick - also any CA glue is definitely out, it will harden too quickly!

Cheers

Patrick

Hi Monica I`ve always used Humbrol`s glue, I find it easy to work with so therefore that`s why I personally like it, it all depends on your own personal choice

No doubt the guys on here will point you in the right direction and you will find a glue that suits your purpose

hi Patrick,and Tommy thank you for the help i feel silly oh boo to dodgy PC,s , well i do have both Tamiya extra thin cement, and the Revell Contacta cement,

so thats ,that half sorted, which ever i do use , I was thinking put some in a lid and just ,use a cocktail stick to put it on with so i dont over use it

as the last 2 days the Revell has been a bit strange and taking along time to set, maybe because its at the end off the bottle ?

I use Tamiya Extra Thin cement ... works everytime.
