Der Bugmeister Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 What do you use when mocking up a bunch of parts to hold them all together? Apart from masking tape, anybody use a particular type of glue? And how to disassemble/remove the glue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Yellow or blue poster putty...arts and crafts or school and office dept. Also useful for masking engine details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randx0 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 rubber cement will also work but takes a bit to dry. sometimes I'll use liquid cement to just tack stuff together just use it sparingly and in a spot that you can easily repair if needed .

Foxer Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) I use Microscale Micro Liquitape for mocking up. It's a white liquid you apply to both parts and makes a nice bond that can even be taken apart and put back together. It all washes off with water. A quote on the bottle says "A tacky adhesive for temporarily joining most modeling materials".Here's a link to it at the BMF site. It's at the bottom of the page.

jaymcminn Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Saw this at the LHS the other day. I'll have to go back and pick some up now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunkPile Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Small dab of super glue works well for me. Fast set-up and snaps apart easily. Good luck and have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenrat Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I second Chuck. Super glue is ideal as it's a very brittle bond and doesn't chemically attack the plastic. Tiny amounts only though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatkidd Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Aleen's Fast Grab Tacky Glue is what I've been using for mockups and temporary attachments. It is water based, and thicker than regular white glue. It dries in about 10 minutes or so, but I usually leave it overnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwdave92 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Oh nice to see someone has tried the liquid tape. I'm going to have to grab some of that. I'm with the blue poster tac that you can get about everywhere. I also keep an egg of silly puddy for the same job as well as masking complex parts for spray painting.
