Anyone ever use this stuff, or even heard of GW making it? Our FLGS guy was giving it out to a few customers trying to gather opinions and decide worth stocking. I used it on the SM chaplain with Jump pack and within 3 mins I could hold the whole model up by the jump pack. Also glued a plastic arm on him, and could hold him up with just the arm as well.

Not exactly news. GW's superglue has always been watery, overpriced rubbish.

Moving this one over to modelling.

I've used this, a friend of mine bought it a couple weeks ago. While I can't comment on the price, I can say it was very good, it instantly held things in place. There were no problems like having to hold pieces in place for minutes while the glue dried.

Pic of the bottle, different from on at least the USA site.

The first bottle I got was ruined the first week I had it when it sat in my car for an hour in 75 degree weather. The glue turned to a thick thick gel, and the next day was completely hardened. I decided to get a second bottle but be more careful with transport.

My second bottle's brush was ruined the next week when I was using the glue and Green Stuff at the same time. I use water to keep the Green Stuff from sticking to my tools, and when the brush touched a wet spot on the fig, the glue on the brush hardened and made it unusable.

I was debating on getting a third bottle, when the FLGS found a case of the old glue under the counter they did not know they had. Picked up one of those right away because I really like the big bottles they used to carry. Now I'm debating getting another bottle or two of the stuff to store for when the current bottle runs out.

I use two types of glues, situationally:

Loc-Tite Ultra Control Gel, which is almost exactly the same as Zap-A-Gap, except I can pick this up from Lowe's on the way home instead of waiting for mail order. This is my go-to glue for gap filling and heavy duty joins. Sets slowly, like 20-30 seconds.

or

Pacer thin CA which is the exact opposite in all respects. I use it for fine work like brass etch.

I use the Zap medium.

I've tried the thin, and it's just too runny for me.

Never used the GW stuff. Not when the Zap stuff comes in the same size bottle for less.

I use the Zap medium or the GW plastic glue depending on what I am doing.

Pretty sure the GW Super Glue Thin is exactly the same as the old GW super glue, just new packaging. At least thats what my local GW store said...

It's not the same as the old stuff. It is indeed Much thinner.

Gws super glue ha always been useless for me. Its to watery and overpriced. I stick to using gel super glue these days (yes pun intended) and for ecth brass i use gator glue which is like PVA.

As for brushes in super glue i have never worked out why GW and other people do it, they become useless after a few times. Superglue is designed to stick anything to anything (almost) so it will render a brush useless. superglue for those who dont know was origionaly designed for use by medics in the Vietnam war for patching people together and its still used medicaly today.

Personaly i use superglue for small lightweight models and thebigger ones i use araldite for.
