Hey guysand girls, just a quick little question for you all. Im fresh back to the game after a few years, and before I get to getting new minis I stumbled upon finecast and resin and the like. Now back when I played, it was metal and plastic; resin was Forge Worlds thing.

How well does finecast (and resin in general) stick to GW plastics? And what sort of glue should I be using, super glue or regular plastic glue?

:EDIT:

Because I apparently cant spell today.

if you use resin (fincast) or metal you should always use superglue... only plastic can be glued with plasticglue (doh ) because it melts the plastic to ensure a solid bond

well I just superglue everything

that way if I dont want it anymore or want a different loadout stipping it will eat the paint

Plastic glue won't cut it for resin, superglue works well enough. I've taken to using two part epoxy's for any finecast or heavy metal pieces lately. You can get it at any home improvement store for about 5$. It does stink/burn from the odor it puts off, but toss it in a bathroom with a fan on and after a few hours the model will break before that join does.

Cool. Thanks for all the replies guys. Is Gorilla Glue any good?

Which super glues and plastic glues are the best?

BSI Cyanoacrylate is what I use. I use the Insta-Cure+ since it's got more body to it and it has a little more working time when needed.

I also use BSI Insta-Set accelerator for most mass assembly projects or anything that I can't wait for drying on.

Plastic glue is pointless to me, CA works fine and with some effort can often be pried apart if you want to change out something. I don't like anything that melts my models, even if it's melting things I can't see. Also I don't need to spend money on superfluous glues that only fit specific applications. CA(superglue) works on everything we do in this hobby except basing and terrain, where PVA glue should be used(which is also dirt cheap).

Plastic cement = plastic parts only. Any other material needs superglue.
