I use testor 's brush on plastic cement for plastics because its the best option.

I use zap a gap for metal to metal or plastic to metal .

GW's product? nono for me , only buy it if you find it convenient. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260798/1039933.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260798/1039933.page GMT So what glue do you dudes use??? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260798/1039934.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260798/1039934.page GMT So what glue do you dudes use??? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260798/1039962.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260798/1039962.page GMT So what glue do you dudes use???

GW glue is some of the worst so as such I use three different glues depending on what I am doing. If it is plastics then I use testors cement as it melts the plastics together. If it is metals then I use zap a gap green label, and if it is fine metal pieces I use the pink label zap a gap.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260798/1041140.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260798/1041140.page GMT So what glue do you dudes use???
It costs around 5 bucks per bottle but you get a really big bottle for the cost . ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260798/1041162.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260798/1041162.page GMT So what glue do you dudes use???

And if I do change things pulling it apart isn't that easy its just better than using plastic glue .

Ive been putting models together since I was 8 (thats my conservative guess, so probably earlier). Gorilla Super glue is the best glue I have ever used to put together models as far as super glue goes. Zap-A-Gap is a close second but that stuff clogs like crazy and you never get to use more than half the bottle before it goes bad. Gorilla super glue on the other hand has a piece of wire about and 1/2 in long that keeps the nozzle clog free. I work at a hardware store and have tried every glue on the shelf. This is the best. I have dropped minis glued together with this stuff that I was all like, "oh great I gotta glue that whole dreadnaught or whatever back together but it stayed rock solid. Also for large surfaces Locktite brush on is good too.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260798/1041267.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260798/1041267.page GMT Re:So what glue do you dudes use??? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260798/1041339.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260798/1041339.page GMT Re:So what glue do you dudes use???
For metal I use GW's super glue. I've tried epoxy, but it doesn't seem to hold as well and it is a pain to mix.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260798/1041386.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260798/1041386.page GMT So what glue do you dudes use???
Both larger than GW counter parts and both a hella lot cheaper]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260798/1041398.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260798/1041398.page GMT So what glue do you dudes use???
When given my preference I use the Bob Smith super glues and accellerant. It is superior to the dollar store stuff in every way, and actually comes out to roughly the same price per oz. when i buy it in the medium sized bottle.

For metal I use Duro brand super glue gel. I far prefer gel type super glue as it sets up much faster than the messy liquid type.

For my occasional white glue needs I use whatever brand of cheap school glue I can get in a bottle at the local Walmart. The bottle on my bench right now is Elmers.

Only a fool would use the GW glues as other brands are as good or superior, easy to obtain, and much, much cheaper.

Gorilla glue i find them in hardware stores ( home depot )

Zap a gap i dont have the solid block problem ( but i understand the problem )
the reason is i glue whole armies at the same time , it doesnt have a chance to solidify.

After it does solidify by the time i move onto the next whole army , i just snip off tiny bit off the top.

By the time i snip through the the whole tube , its usually 5+ armies done and the glue is all used up anyways.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260798/1041703.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260798/1041703.page GMT So what glue do you dudes use??? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260798/1041990.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260798/1041990.page GMT So what glue do you dudes use??? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260798/1042147.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260798/1042147.page GMT So what glue do you dudes use???
