Pastor Plastic Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Why is my testors glue making really nice spiderweb style strings? I am new at all this model stuff and this is driving me nuts. HELP!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 It's drying out. Toss it in the trash and pick up some Testors liquid cement in the glass bottle and/or some superglue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks... I wonder why he sold it for $1.00 a tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liquid cement, yes. But I find liquid cement much too watery for my preference so I glob the old tube glue into it and mix. You can get a really nice viscous liquid cement that's thick enough to avoid running all over but still thin enough to wick into delicate areas.
