A sticky situation

Post by ionic1000 »

I am building both styrene and resin models. What is the best glue for these?
Where can I buy it?

Is there any way to remove glue from a model? (built in haste!) I want to start over! :D

If you used superglue, debonders are available. For hot styrene glues like Tenax, Tamiya glues etc, you wont be able to remove them very well as they bond directly by melting the plastics.
Good luck!
