Question:

Plastic model cement/glue?

I need to buy plastic model cement for a plastic model but don't know where in TORONTO. I bought something that was Elmers that said cement on it and said it worked for plastics, i tried it and it turned out to be like crap wouldnt even glue after like 1000 hours. I just need a glue that works well and holds strong. We use Testors glue at school and its excellent but i dont know where i can buy it from? I also heard of super glue being good, please tell me a good kind and whereeeee

Answer:

Super glue, aka, Crazy glue, aka Hot Stuff, is good. Any hobby shop should have it.
Guerrilla Glue is supposed to be GREAT!
Gorilla glue works on everything!
complex situation. try searching over search engines like google. that will help!
Testor's is an acetone based solvent used in putting styrene plastic together, by welding it. The solvent dissolves the plastic and thus it welds together instead of leaving a layer-layer-layer like plastic-glue-plastic. An acetone- based also comes from a company called Ambroid - but Ambroid also makes a very good wood glue - not for plastic. Testor's or Amboid should be available at most hobby shops that sell plastic models. George's Trains in Markham, and North Star Hobbies just over the border on Dundas St. in Mississauga will also have it (west of 427 - south side.- small plaza - Muddy Duck restaurant )
