Comes in a great bottle, its cheap and it has a brutally accurate applicator.

Imo I love revel but the nozzle keeps on jamming so I have to chuck it away. I currently have AP gule becaue ts the only one apart form GW at my FLGS.

if the needle is clogged up take it out of the 'bottle' and hold a lighter or a match underneath, the glue will burn right up and the needle is opened up!

I really like the revell glue as well, works like a charm

Thanks man I will try that next time I purchase it!

No no, don't hold a naked flame to the glue. Just push a length of brass rod down the tube to clear it. Actually you are better off throwing away the long cap and just leaving a length of wire in the tube. That way it it always clear when you come to use it.

Why not? works like a charm imho glue will burn up in 1-2secs and the needle will cool off fast (can always use some water for safety)

Or just chuch the needle and put a pin in the hole to stop the gule leaking out and drying up

8 amp fusewire does the trick for me.

Fits down the tube, and clears the blockages most of the time.

For those really stubborn ones, I remove the tube and apply a flame to it until it goes "phut!" with a little puff of flame (all of the crud inside being burnt up). Then I let it cool and put it back in.

Yeah, 20 years using the stuff. 'Course, it helps that I'm over 40 - and it did take me around 10 years to discover it before that.

I use three different glues for plastic and supper glue for all dissimilar bonds.

If I need to move things around to get the look I want I go for the Testors' liquid in the glass jar

If I don't need as much time or I'm gluing large seems then it's the Testor's glue mentioned earlier.

If everything fits fine and nothing needs adjusting I use Plastruct's Bondene. This stuff is very hot and will start to evaporate the second you get it on the brush but the bond it makes is a very strong one.

I would never dream of using the Testor's glue in the orange tube, They changed the formula over the years, I remember when you could actually get a buzz from the vapors but I digress, anyway the tube stuff is so next to useless that the owner of one of local shops used to give away when you bought a kit.
A couple of things with liquid glue, get an old paintbrush, a "0-000", will do, don't use the brush that comes with the bottle as you can't control the flow properly. Also if you wait a few seconds and squeeze the parts together you'll push out a bead of melted plastic. Let that dry solid and then sand it down, that way you won't need much filler for a bad seam if any at all.
