SuperStockAndy Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 So I got this glue from Hobbylinc. It was frozen solid when I got it. Overnight, it warmed up but it's still somewhat hard. Is it just from a bad batch? I hope I didn't waste $5.00 My guess it that it's supposed to come out as a thin white liquid?
MoparWoman Jamie Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 That is one reason why I don't use Testors glue for. Now if I'm only doing say a detail like a welding bead on a panel then yes I will use the tube Testors glue for that fake detail stuff. But then even mostly I use superglue for all the stuff on my builds. I don't risk the builds with Testor stuff, I mean after I seen on afew of my younger day builds at how there glue left go and parts started to fall off and from the models and the glue was mostly rubber unlike super glue. I went with superglue (I use the red tube superglue now days all a time) and didn't even look back.I'm sorry to hear about your issue with the Testors glue bought, if you got it local, I would take it back and have them try using it them self's
SuperStockAndy Posted January 11, 2011 Author Posted January 11, 2011 Thanks for the reply. I got it from Hobbylinc.com.
Harry P. Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Five bucks??? Sheesh... I use Elmer's glue for gluing clear parts. Costs about 79¢ at Walmart. You can also "glue" clear parts with clear enamel, or clear 5-minute epoxy if you want a stronger bond, but good old Elmer's works pretty well most of the time.

Dr. Cranky Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Medium acrylic gel also works and goes a long ways for the money.
ra7c7er Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) It probably froze in the warehouse. I doubt it was a bad batch. Testors works fine for me I use testors, elmers, and plastruct on my builds. Not the first time I have heard about bad glue coming from Hobbylinc. I worked at a hobby shop and we would hear stories from people about glue and paint that came from online warehouses being bad; frozen, exploded, leaking, etc. Best bet for glue is a local shop or just using elmers.
