Hi guys, sorry to go on about glue again but i'm still having problems with it.Took Tomick's advice & bought some 4 min Speed Epoxy from Deluxe Materials.I read the instructions & mixed it half & half.I held the parts together for 5 mins but it didn't bond.Am i doing something wrong? Should i add more hardener to the glue mix or more adhesive? The model is getting to the stage now where any mistakes will be visible.Thanks for your patience.

I dont see why people are going for the complex stuff. Go to your local Wilkinsons and get the green tube "hard plastic glue", bonds in seconds, no trouble.

I've used this stuff on plastics ranging from airfix-type kits right through to rigid stuff almost as hard as Perspex. No probs. "Sticks like sh-t to a blanket" as they say. Roy.

Does this glue have the 'bloom effect' though?? Chris
