I use it exclusively for P.E., and wouldn't use anything else...dries clear, has a little "give" that keeps P.E. attached, rather than popping off to who knows where, and allows your fingers to work together, without being stuck together .

I give it a big thumbs up...it's a great product.



Cheers,
Mike

Gator glue is a very good product depending on how much surface is in contact and the strength of the bond that is required, it certainly has its place in the hobby.

Hello Ray,
Gator Glue is great to use with PE, White Metal, Resin, Etc.
It is a water base glue so you can thin it as needed. The only drawback is it can not stand the cold. I keep my bottles near the furnace. Ken Loup (gator) is a staff member at Model Shipwright and does some great masks also. I think he even could do some masks for Aircraft and Vehicles. I highly recomed his glue and masks.
Cheers,
Bruce

I was in a local hobby shop recently, and the owner recommended it ... so I had to try it.
Opinions so far ... excellent. I used it to attach PE to my T34 and it worked no problem. You have a short time to work with it as well ... to adjust the piece if needed. As it is water based ... having a damp cotton top handy will clean away any surplus that might squeeze out ... which is another great adavantage. I like the fact it has some "give" ... as already mentioned .. parts dont just pling off!
