Hi all

So, I've been using Gorilla Glue for a while when it comes to gluing Citadel Finecast but also small points of connection between parts of a model. That being said, I've kinda found it to be a little lacking recently (not sure if new formula or it's just me haha)

So I was wondering what everyone uses for these things?

Thanks! x

Use super glue. It's cheap and easy to find. Loctite is a good quality one and dries pretty fast. Different brands have different drying times so getting a few to find what suits you is s good idea. Gorilla super glue takes forever to dry so it's a good choice for.parts with awkward alignment.

Superglue is my go to for anything resin including finecast, you can get it in varying thicknesses, thicker can be better if the joints don't line up well. Be aware that superglue does have a lifespan, once you open it, it starts to degrade, so if you have a bottle that is very old consider buying a new one before using it on models you care about.

I don't rate gorilla glue at all. At least the kind I got... It sort of turns into a foam. Just use regular superglue.

Gorilla brand superglue is fantastic. If you are having issues, use as little glue as possible and make sure the parts fit very well. Failing that, be sure your glue is fresh, it can go bad after a bit.

That would be the polyurethane or PU Glue, which expands to gap fill, I use it for wood to metal bonds, Very strong stuff.

My go to is gel superglue, it's precise and dries fast.
