Hello.
I read somewhere that someone uses glue for his minis, but it's not super glue. They said the glue takes a little longer to dry, but then the joint is a little forgiving, so things arms, gear, or other items don't pop off. Does anyone know the name of that glue?
Thank you in advance.

Sounds like epoxy resin. Comes in two parts you mix together, and when it sets it forms a very, very strong bond.

E6000 is a very strong one part cement that sets to a slightly flexible state.

It is used by "decoru" people and costume artists for sticking gems on things.

It is no good for polystyrene because the formulation damages the plastic. It works well on metal. I haven't tried it on resin.

Well, that depends.

If we're talking about non-polystyrene things then it could be:

5 minute epoxy: http://amzn.to/1mqShI8
Tacky Glue: http://amzn.to/Q8sgAa
Gorilla glue: http://amzn.to/Q8sp6I

Most likely the first one, though. Tacky glue is great for clear parts, basing etc. Gorilla glue is good if you can clamp the part.

But if you're talking about gluing styrene models then nothing beats a good model cement: http://amzn.to/1dI7coZ

I am a fan of JB Kwik for metal models and big pieces. Once it sets, it is stronger than the model itself.

Sounds like you could be describing regular plastic cement. I takes a bit longer to dry but you can still fiddle with it while it does so is's great for arms and the like.
