I've had to do this several times for my Revell glue, I'd hold it at an angle, the glue should burn out in an upwards direction...

Loctite is pretty freaking good, and you can buy it anywhere. I would stay away from products with "Krazy" anywhere on them. They aren't horrible, but they aren't great either. I used to put models together with brush applicated krazy glue, and they all fell apart after a while. This is pretty great if you like to rip pieces off models and re-use them, but not good for transportation and long term storage.

GW plastic glue was always good, and had the advantage of not getting your fingers stuck to everything. I imagine their new stuff (thin) is pretty good.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581501/6572216.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581501/6572216.page GMT Plastic Glue.

Best glue (easily available in the states) for plastic!

That and loctite gel control for super glue]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581501/6573200.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581501/6573200.page GMT Plastic Glue. Recommendations?
Metal, resin, plastic and fingertips all come together in an instant.

One glue to bond them all!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581501/6573251.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581501/6573251.page GMT Plastic Glue. Recommendations?
The GW plastic glue is meh...it works ok, but takes a bit too long to set, let alone dry for my liking.

One day I'll remember to pick up some testor's plastic glue when I'm at the hobby shop. We used to use it some time ago and I remember it being pretty good.

I didn't have a problem with Army Painter super glue, although it's thin, so I don't use it often. The Army Painter plastic glue...well I ruined the bottle on day one poking the top with a nail that was a little too big. We'd just moved and I couldn't fine anything smaller. Split the tube straight down! Didn't get another tube to replace it because I had other stuff to use.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581501/6573281.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581501/6573281.page GMT Plastic Glue.

For metal/resin, I use loctite gel or Gorilla super glues. They are both tough as nails. Try to avoid the spray fixative if you can, I have heard that it makes the glue join more brittle than regular air drying.

Also bear in mind that CA glues (super glues) need moisture in the air to set properly, so if you're in a dry area, you may need a source of humidity in your hobby area (You being from Wisconsin, I doubt that matters, in New Mexico, it matters to me

I personally prefer the Testors, but it's all much the same.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581501/6573566.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581501/6573566.page GMT Plastic Glue. Recommendations?
Works great for plastics and ok for metal.

A little Insta-set is always useful.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581501/6576457.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581501/6576457.page GMT Re:Plastic Glue. Recommendations? CA+ glue for all of my miniature glue needs, with some pinning of resin/metal models to ensure a good bond. I used to use plastic glue, but I've come to appreciate the fact that my models are no longer fused together after gluing them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581501/6576477.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581501/6576477.page GMT Plastic Glue.

I agree. Even gw's studio team don't use it. They use revel or humbrol plastic glue, or loctite super glue]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581501/6580784.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581501/6580784.page GMT
