polystyrene glue, recommend

[fiatboy]

Liquid cement is too thin, and Army Painter plastic glue is too thick.  I have tried "Faller" brand and it is too thin for me.  Please recommend something to me.  Thanks

Depends on what you're doing with it, but I find that I can meet all of my gluing needs with just 2 glues.

 

Plastruct "Plastic Weld" for bare plastic, and clear 2-part epoxy for everything else.

On extremely rare occasions I'll use a little ZAP glue, (super glue) for a few little things, but in almost all cases, I can get by without it.

Liquid cement is thin cause it’s not made to use like regular CA glue even though folks use it that way. Sounds like you’re wanting medium CA? That’s in the middle of thin, and thick.

These are pretty much the only glues I use. The Tamiya for bare plastic parts before paint. Thin CA for close fitting painted parts. The medium for less well fitting parts, and the epoxy for joints that need strength.

Lately I've been using Loctite brand CA glue. It has been working very well on my projects. I sometimes use white glue for mock-up work and temporary parts joining, but use CA for final assembly.

Since the Modelmaster 8872 is no longer available, you might try the Testors 3507 if you are looking for a thicker cement.

CA gloo and E6000 when I have to nudge a part in to place. That is all.... -RRR

I mainly use Tamiya with the green cap solvent type. I have some Micro Mark too. I don't think Tenax is still made. For CA types, I use Gorilla Glue in small tubes or medium Zap-a-gap.

Final assembly I'll use tape for hidden things like interior installs or 5-minute epoxy. CA glue can and will fog chrome and glass.

for poly glue i use revell contacta most of the time but if i want a thicker/slower running poly i use humbrol in the yellow bottle (i dont know if humbrol have a difference between bottle colours but i suspect not). Its a little thicker than the revell glue but the needle clogs easily.
