Testors Tube glue?


Much better options for Styrene glue out there without having to resort to CA.


CA is great for bonding PE, Metal barrels, or Resin to themselves or plastic....but for straight Styrene to Styrene bonding, not much beats Tamiya Regular Liquid Cement, or Tamiya X-Thin Liquid Cement.


CA will work, but it actually doesn't bond the 2 parts together, just creates a bond between the 2 parts, where as styrene cement actually welds the 2 parts together making it one part. Much stronger as the bond with CA is fairly brittle to shear strength.


Don't get me wrong, CA has it's uses, but if you are just bonding styrene parts, a styrene glue works best.
