Duco Cement is fairly fast drying - hold pieces together for 20-30 seconds. It is a nitrocellulose solution in acetone, and the acetone evaporates quickly. It also has a strong smell and is flammable.

 

I use Sig Bond aliphatic resin for most work and clamp the pieces together. It is slow hardening - 40 minutes to hold and over night for full cure.

 

If you need to bond to metal or glass use epoxy!

I seem to mostly use Gorilla products.   Gorilla PVA Wood Glue for the majority of the build and then I have Gorilla CA glue which I use on the ends of ropes or adding that 1 piece that needs to bond quickly.   If I have plastic pieces, either the CA or Tamiya Extra Thin.   I have been using Gorilla CA for years now and have never had a bottle dry up and my current bottle of PVA is well over a year old and no sign of it drying up or getting old.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
