mtdoramike Posted December 26, 2019 Share #1 Posted December 26, 2019 I'm wanting to know what is the best glue for plastic model boats and ships especially those that are built for Radio Control/water use? Anyone have any ideas, I remember the old Testers and Tamiya model airplane glues that I assume were outlawed because of glue sniffers😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James H Posted December 26, 2019 Share #2 Posted December 26, 2019 If you mean plastic kits, then the very best is Tamiya Extra Thin Cement. You can put the parts together as apply a little with a brush to fix things. This includes long seams. I use it all the time for my magazine work. Now, if you are also talking RC models, then that may be a different plastic and not styrene. I would look at both Cyanoacrylate (superglue), with Zap being an excellent brand, and also epoxy. It all depends on the specific task you are performing. mtaylor 1 Quote SAY NO TO PIRACY. SUPPORT ORIGINAL IDEAS AND MANUFACTURERS. KEEP IT REAL!
