A Superglue Question

Hi all Modellers,

Question: What superglue(s) do you use? How about their pros and cons. Do you have any problems using or storing them?

Pound shop superglue. Cheap, no issues to date, no storage problems since they come in very small tubes.

I've tried a few different types of CA glue and have settled on Roket by delux materials. There are 3 different types (Hot, Rapid and Max) and basically they "dry" are different speeds. The quicker the drying time the thinner the CA, which can be quite handy if you need to place a small item on a model and then fiddle around getting it in the right place. The Roket Max is the slowest curing at about 10 - 20 seconds and the Roket Hot is the quickest at 1 - 5 seconds.

The general rule that I try to keep in mind when using superglue is that it will try and stick everything and anything together, with the exception of the the one thing that you actually DO want gluing - grrrrrrrrr!! :wall:
