Jarrell,

is that the Testors Liquid cement you are using? That's the best stuff for gluing styrene to styrene because it actually "melts" the outer layer of the plastic and "melds" the two pieces together. It's also thin enough to use (sparingly) on the backside of parts that are to be glued but are just fitted together - e.g. the tabs that hold the braking system pieces in place on Accurail box cars. Otherwise, it gets too messy and/or cumbersome to glue the part THEN try and fit it in the small hole before the cement dries.

Yes Tom, that's the stuff. Kinda like thick water and its doing fine holding styrene to styrene.

If you use a toothpick or any other small, pointy object to apply the glue, you should be able to apply a small amount of glue right where you want it![;)]
