Used TET for the first time in my life yesterday and immediately thought "where have you been all my life..."
I also use Revell Contacta Professional when I need a glue that does not dry so fast and because it is readily avaliable. However, as far as I can tell TET has the much better bond......

I've been using a combination of Testors Liquid Cement for Plastic (water thin in glass jar) and Model Masters Liquid Cement (black plastic bottle) for as long as I can remember. They're pretty much the only things I can find locally. Want to try Tamiya Extra Thin but just haven't found a source other than mail order, and that will have to wait until I can afford (HAH!) to put a decent order together.

I can't remember how it all came about now but I was sent 'care packages' from several members of the ATF that included pots of Humbrol paint and glues that you get with the starter sets that a lot of modellers don't like or use - they had no use for them so they sent them to me and I'm still working my way through them! More recently I was sent a bottle of Revell Contacta Professional Mini by the Telegraphist (my modelling guardian angel) which has the long metal needle to make it easier to get the glue only where I want it.
Oh! I just remembered! I have a little bottle of Italeri liquid glue with the brush that is quite nice to use. I'd forgotten about that!
Humbrol glue, i love that stuff. Its my filler replacement. Though I also use Testors glue. The brush on one. I dont know the name.

I use Revell with the little pin like applicator, Tamiya extra thin, Zap a Gap CA and regular old Tester tube glue, depending on the application.

Tamiya extra thin and Revell contacta- the one with the needle. It works well for me cos' I have a wire which unblocks it every time the needle gets blocked.
I also have some small tubes of Humbrol poly cement knocking about, but I do not use them
I normally use the Tamiya extra thin most of the time for capillary action stuff.
For cyano adhesives, I usually use bob-smith industries super thin cyanoacrylate glue. It is great for photo etch, resin and stuff like that

Stopped by the hobby shop today to replace the bottle of Testors Liquid Cement that I spilled the other day and found out he won't be carrying it any more. Apparently they've received several shipment of it where half the bottles were empty due to loose caps. He did order in some Tamiya Extra Thin when I asked him about it. Since I couldn't wait I went ahead and picked up three bottle of the Testors. Hopefully that should last me for a while!
