Extra Thin rules ! ;D
It's a really " hot " cement -- it's exactly 50% acetone and 50 % butyl acetate -- so a little dab will do .
The big advantage over cements with larger quantities of plastics in them is it's capillary action allows you to just hold the parts together and a dab of the cement will travel around the joint .
Some plastics will work better than others -- The Japanese brands above use styrene of a formulation that performs very well with it .
I've encountered plastics like in the
Hobby Boss SdKfz 222 I'm building now that don't like it .
.. and some older , pre-factory move ,
Mini-Art kits also .. . the stuff is spread around .
It depends on the plasticizers and other fillers / colorants used .
You should have some heavy body ( brush-in-bottle ,, not the gooey-tube
),, like the
Testor's or
Plastruct around in addition to the Extra Thin -- but I'm pretty sure you'll be using the Extra Thin the most .
The thicker glues are good for problem styrene , large joints or if you need a stronger joint .
