"You want fast curing gap-filling super glue."

I'll second that, but I don't bother with the Zap-A-Gap brand since cyanoacrylate is cyanoacrylate. I use a generic superglue gel from the dollar store that fills gaps and forms a strong bond in a second or two.

Model glue or plastic glue is great for making incredibly strong welds, but strings up easily and leaves unsightly marks on visible surfaces if you're not careful. Testors sells the stuff in a tube or bottle and you can get precision nozzles to make gluing your marines and their fiddily bits gads easier and cleaner.

Yes.

"You want to use a Cyanoacrylate glue because it does in a sense weld the parts together"

Not exactly... CA is an actual glue, which means that it leaves a binder connecting two surfaces. A weld actually fuses the two surfaces into one, making a stronger bond. Of course, plastic glue can only bond plastic to plastic and is useless for metal models or bits where CA or epoxy would work considerably better.

No harm, no foul, Jabba!
