The glue that i use on my models is Testors in the orange tube, it seems to work best, thanks for your advice

I use Ambroid liquid, whenever I can find it.

No no on the snap kit's.Ive tried model glue and it don't work. On the models I use testors glue in the black bottle a bit runny but works great.

Hello Clayton

In Canada we had Lepages styrene glue for models. Unfortunately many were sniffing it and the manufacturer stop producing it. To me this is the best glue for styrene plastic.

On my part Testors in the orange tube does not work for me. Surching for an alternative trying to find a new supplier came across Humbrol that was working fine but

cannot find it anywhere I only had the one tube.

Many years ago I had purchase a tube of Elmers Model and hobby on a trip to a show in the U.S. Having it I was very sceptic about using it.

When My tube of glue was empty I decided to open the tube of Elmers.

Turns out this is really good glue. I quick view from Elmers web site confirmed they still manufacture the glue. Off to find store(s) where they stock this glue.

There are many stores that stock this glue, The first store I found was Wallmart and had a new product sticker.

Here is attached a photo of the tube of glue.

Hope this helps. Try it and tell me what you thing about this glue.

Best regards Daniel Gailloux
