Does anyone know of a good glue to use for 40k finecast models. The Testors modeling glue that was recommended to me does not want to bond. It works for regular models just fine but not for the finecast. Any suggestions?

try superglue. finecast is a type of resin not plastic. therefore modelling glue will not work.

I just use regular Superglue on mine . Seems to do the job, provided you clean any residual mould release off of the miniatures first.

Testors glues are for plastics and rookies. Use BSI or Loctite super glues for best results.

I use Zap a Gap CA+ superglue. Any hobby shop should have it. You were probably using plastic glue or something if that didn't work.

Plastic glue (also called plastic cement) actually melts the plastic with a chemical reaction and fuses plastic to plastic. But this reaction only works - like the name suggests - on plastic models. Finecast are made of resin not plastic and can't be glued that way.
Like everybody suggested use regular superglue.
