I still have a 1 oz bottle of Testors liquid plastic cement from my younger modeling days. It goes on with a brush like nail polish. My oldest son has taken up building WW2 battleships and I am finding that I am running out. I've been looking for it but not too seriously. I remember I had a hard time finding it years ago. Does anybody else use this stuff and if so where do you get it. I like the liquid because it isn't gloopy like the tube glues and only goes where you put it. Any other suggestions for a liquid glue? Larry
Larry Teastors liquid in a bottle is MEK methyl eathyl keytone, you can get it in quarts at any real hardware store or house paint supplier. Don't breath the stuff use lots of ventilation it can cause liver damage, and it's flammable. Judd
model glue Larry Try your local hobby shop for AMBROID PRO WELD PLASTIC WELDER. This stuff is the up to date glue for plastics. it actually welds the plastic pieces together. Wally world may also have it. Hope this helps. Al :beer
When I was a kid I used the liquid stuff b/c it was less messy. I've been told that the tube glue is actually easier to work with, but don't know if that's true. I tried the tube stuff once, but learned it was more fun to use it to draw designs on concrete and set them on fire. Make sure your kid uses it in an open area... I used to try to make models in a big basement, and after a while I'd get dizzy. People who abuse glue tend to prefer the tube, but the liquid can be nasty too.
Thanks for the help. I dug out the bottle and it has methyl isobutyl keytone and methyl cellulose aetate in it. My son only uses it under my supervision. Yesit isnasty stuff but at the time I found it to be the easiest to work with. He is still learning and the tube glues are too difficul for him to use and not leave big globs. He gave me one of his models a few days ago to try and get the globs of glue off. No go so far. 'll start looking for the AMBROID PRO WELD PLASTIC WELDER. Larry
