Which super glue do you use?

I am having issues with different glues, in the main they keep drying out of me or the packaging goes stupid.

Which superglue are you using?

Locktite Super Attak.

I've had some superglues which took forever to dry and didn't "bite" into the model surface very well. Absolute crap. However one of them had a really nice droplet system where you screw the top a bit to allow the glue to run out. It eliminated the annoying "dry glue clogs up lid so it won't fit" syndrome which haunts most types of bottles.

The Locktite is a great glue which bonds very fast and gives a strong joint. Particularly usefull when converting very small bitz with a limited bonding surface. However the lid usually goes screwy before you've used half of what's in the bottle :(

Selleys Quick Fix Supa Glue - works a treat.

Since, they have changed the design of the GW superglue I've went back to using it. The glue is stronger and the brush activator is really good... Before that I was using B&Q own brand, which was cheap.

Well, the first and last time I bought a bottle of GW (two months ago), I had to throw it away after using only half of it because the brush was a mass of solidified glue...  ???

Since then, I went back to my usual Loctite super glue.

This happened to me once...it was my own fault... I put superglue onto some pva that hadn't dried.

Well I'm glad you have found found something positive in a GW store.  I have to be thoroughly desperate to go there to get anything

Attakk on Maltese means a psycho frenzy - which is what happens when I use any of the brands available here... but I'm trying a new one, applied by brush, but apparently good. Only trouble is it seems to run out after a couple of sweeps.... :p
Will check name.

I actually use some no-name stuff I get at the Dollar Store... at a dollar a tube for 2ml, I don't worry if it goes wonky when only half done... *laugh*

And it holds surprisingly well!

Hi Jimbo,

I use a variety of superglues... generally whiochever is handy at the shop when I stop by.

However, I do understand the difference between types of cyanoacrylate glues and for really fiddly models, I use the fast-drying brands.

The superglue I find myself using most is the cheap kind though... my local Dollar / 99 Cent / Super Discount stores have been running superglue at two for a Dollar so that has been the kind I've been using for metals.

For plastics, I generally use the cheap tube kind that sold for plastic model kits. Just be careful with how much you use as too much will turn your plastic into a lumpy blob. I now have an AT-AT with a deformed roof thanks to overzealous use of glue... battle damage in my book! :D

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

I just had the nozzle snap off a nearly full bottle of LePage CA glue due to being glued to the cap. :angry: The CA glue I had before that dried in the tube. :angry: :angry:

At least the stuff isn't expensive. It's just that it always dies just when you need it most. Did I tell you I also just broke off a drill bit in the foot of my Necromunda gang leader? Curse you Murphy!
