I use a variety of different glues, just like Brother Bob-

PVA glue for bases,
Superglue for metals and plastics
and glue called Zap-a-Gap for more stubborn metals (like the Dark Elf War Hydra).

I use different glues for different jobs...all my glues are available in the US.

1. Elmers general purpose glue [ white PVA ] foam, flock, cardboard.
2. Zap- a - Gap super glue for metals needing no strength.
3. Quick Grab, [ Duco cement ] general purpose glue, scenery, foilage clusters, cardboard.
4. Testors model cement, for plastic models.
5. Five minute epoxy [ bondo ] , for metals where strength is needed.

good luck, WAAAGH!

i use krazy glue for plastics and most metals
white paper glue for bases
and for thing i dotn want to f**k around with i use a good 2 part epoxy. it takes lots of heat and water to break it downa nd it is shook resistant. ie blows and knocks.


actually i just picked up shook resistant krazy glue it holds better and is worth the extra 25cents

Or you could get the super dooper heavy duty [insert more adjectives here] glue, mention here before, which is hard to use (Oops! I just squirted half a ton of mass-reactive exploding glue on me!) but sticks like a charm and takes less than a second to dry.

OK... I went to GW the other day and looked at the glue. I also went to my local craft store earlier the same day. Let me tell you, i bought a 4-pack of krazy glue for the price of one specially made GW glue. Its the same thing. Alot cheaper. And, there is about 30-50% more glue altogether in the 4-pack I bought than the GW glue.

I still use Krazy glue when I run out of Citadel, I really dont mind what kind of glue I use as long as it works, and Krazy glue works.
