Anybody else having trouble with the new citadel superglue?

BLADERUNNER · Apr 22, 2011

Hey guys I have a general inquiry about the two types of citadel superglue.

The main things I was wondering about was the fact that I have the thick version of citadel superglue
and the thin version of the superglue and have found that I am having trouble getting them to set and
dry.

Is anybody else having problems with this? I need to find out the best ways to work with this because
I don't have money to go buy new ones. The super glues that I have take forever to dry, and I think that
I might have to go buy an accelerator spray. But really don't want to have to go spend more on the
super glues that I already have.

I am currently trying to glue plastics but I don't know which one I should be using. I usually use p3 and reaper super glues but I am stuck with citadel super glue for now.

Any help would be greatly appreciated:

you mean besides it being an overpriced markup of another brand of superglue? GW doesn't always repackage the best quality products. I actually use Maxi-Cure which has different viscosity's depending on what you want to accomplish.

I use super glue out of the super market (€1 per tube). Never failed me once. For plastics I always use Revell plastic glue. The best in the market.

I use a mid brand thick superglue. I get about 5 seconds working time and then it's stone! I also use accelerator spray when needed, ie when glueing sand onto a base (you can then carve and sculpt the sand)

GW's superglue is awful - it has been for the past couple of years (ever since they last changed the packaging). Plus it's a rip-off. In you local pound shop you can buy five packs of glue in a large "blister" type pack for a quid and whilst it's a brand you've never heard of it WORKS.

Personally I use BOSTIK superglue, and REVEL plastic glue (simply for it's long metal applicator)

For larger heavier pieces of plastic (and resin) and FOAM!! try this stuff. (Be warned - once stuck it's STUCK forever period etc).

I use 'titans grip' super glue, its got a cool name, plus it sticks things together, lol

LOL. "It's got a cool name" LOL. You sound like my wife.....

Well I was looking for a super glue and as soon as I saw that name I haven't used anything else.

I Threw out the citadel super glue and went for P3, definitely a major difference
