Great info on here so far!!!

I want to add that I like the loctite products for CA.  I have had the same problems in the past with CA just becoming a hard lump in the bottle when it is half done.  The Loctite is holding up really well.

And one more thing.  For fiber optics the best glue I have found so far is Micro's kristal klear.  It looks and feels like white glue, but dries differently, and holds better at the start.  It really dries very clear.  I used it for windows in my contest build, and to attach the fibers on the main body. 

I tried white glue for this and it just didn't work.

As for tamiya extra thin.  Watch out if you buy a model from Pegusus hobbies.  They use a mixture of styrene and some other type of plastic.  I was having problems with it forming a weak bond.  I had to use regular tamiya to get it to set.
