I use many different adhesive products. I have found that the best for styrene plastic models is the Testers or Tenax type liquids or the old tube (Plastic Model Glue) type for specific applications. There are times, when I might use thick CA and also thin (Super glue) for plastics. However I use this material mostly for wood or adhering metal and plastic detail parts to white metal or brass (the thick CA works very well for this). I use Walther's Goo for sticking weights on, or in cars. I use white glue thinned with water for gluing scenery, ballast or coal in tenders. Straight White or carpenter's glue for bench work and other wood work. At times I use 5 minute epoxy or hour epoxy, when I feel these materials will work best for the application. Having spent 15 years building and flying R/C models, a person learns much about adhesives.
