RE: Kit building essentials
Polyvinyl Acetate. A "yellow" glue. aka Carpenter's Glue. It's water resistant and dries flexible.
Not "snobby" at all. Used this kind of glue when I was 10 to make model rockets and rubber powered planes. Just try to minimize that pricy CA stuff that hurts my eyes. $3.49 for 8 oz is hardly "pattè de foie glue"
