Recommendations for adhesives

Post by seanfranklin »

Hi, I would like to ask for your advice on a toothpick adhesive for small parts. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Tamiya's glue is pretty good. Not the extra thin, I'm talking about the one with the white bottle cap. The brush is great for smearing a little glue onto a tooth pick.

If you need CA, then any gel based product will do.
Its been tried and tested, it works! So don't blame the system if you're no good. :doh:

Hi Sean & welcome to the forum :cheers2:

If the small part is styrene then as Stokesy said Tamiya's white capped cement will definitely do the trick.

For CA I use Deluxe Materials gel especially for Photo Etch parts

And for something a little more forgiving PVA (Wood glue) will stick most things together and give you time to adjust the fit

Hope that helps :th:
Cheers, Neil
