When it comes to bonding styrene, a LHS owner told me about a great trick that solved an annoying problem with liquid cement such as Testors. When gluing a large area or long joint, the liquid cement tends to evaporate too fast. Now, airplane glue (the thick stuff that comes in tubes) won't do that, but is really messy and takes a lot longer to dry. <br />The solution? Buy a bottle of liquid cement ( I like Plastruct Bondene the most for this) and a tube of airplane glue. Dump half the liquid cement in an empty bottle and squeeze half the airplane glue in each of the two bottles and shake well. You'll have a strong cement that dries quickly, but doesn't evaporate instantly.
