Can anyone give me any ideas for a less-toxic metal glue? I use the Testors blue tube for plastics, but I don't think it'll work on metals. (Unless it will?)

Planning on having kids sooner or later and I'd just as soon not have weird stuff floating around the house (or my/my wife's bodies, honestly).

Thanks!

Either Super Glue or a two part Epoxy.

Toxic materials are only toxic if you don't handel them properlly.

Keep glue in a locked box somewhere high. The nature of glue means that it'll almost always be toxic, and only the weaker (and useless for modelling) glue will be non-toxic. Of course, glue is only toxic if you eat it or pour it into open wounds or something equally silly.

Be thankful GW doesn't make their metal models out of lead any more.

JB weld isn't that toxic, and it'll hold metal together better than near anything.

I use superglue, Just keep it in a high up drawer away from the kids and don't leave it lying in their reach when working with it. I reckon Pva is the only thing non-toxic and I still wouldn't be happy with my toddler drinking it! Best thing is to pack them off to bed nice and early at 7 or 7.30 and then no worries!

Superglue, in conjunction with greenstuff and pinning should work just fine.

Given that the greenstuff is more toxic than the superglue, I'd think you should be fine.
