Default RE: Glue Question

The Foam Compatable CA (made by E-flite) is just that, foam compatable and with some plastics. I've used it with all types of resin, Tamiya, DML and Bandai plastic kits and yet to be unsatisfied with it. This product also has gap filling capabilities when used with the Activator. I wouldn't recommend something if it had an adverse effect like eating plastic. And I have extended the "gap filling" capabilities by doing some heavy duty use. Another gap filler is 5 minute epoxy, the cheap stuff you can get at any store like Wal-Mart, Target or local hardware stores.

The CA I mentioned contains cyanoacrylate ester and can be very eye irratant and any CA product has been known to be very allergenic to certain individuals so please, test it before going into any long term use of it and take breaks often in a well ventilated area. I've even opened my window in the "Mission Room" during the winter time.

This stuff has stood the test of time while other simular products have been known to degrade. I have models built by it 5 years ago, dust them regularly and NO detail parts have fallen off. Thanks to my local Hobby Store for recommending it and I would listen to people directly who have used it than hearsay.
