Well title says it all it seams that Taymia thin does not work that good.
Any suggestions on glue (++) (:-)
This is mostly tracks on the Maus as my Glue does not seem to hold very good. (++) (:-)

Tamiya Thin works like @#%$, use normal tamiya glue, that's what I use, give ya like 20 to 30 minutes time to play around with it, wrap it around your dog's ears, and take it out, and straight it up, and once dried, hold together real nice.

I use Pactra thin cement.It is very watery,and gives good capillary action.
If you can find Ambroid ,that too works as does the Tenax brand.
The goal is to have a very watery glue which will wick into the joints between the links to attain maximum strength. (++) (++) 49 (++) (++)

Allready using the Tamiya thin but does not hold worth a Blank. Know what I mean
This is on the Maus model tracks are really heavy and glue joint real small.
I have tenex not tried but I will pick up the Tamiya one any way when I get the New Bradley Model today (++) (:-)

Thanks

I've gotten good results with both the Testors tube type (yeah the really cheap stuff), as well as Humbrol liqued glue. Strong enough hold with both with a good amount of working time before setting.

Just some more options for you.

Hi

Look here: https://armorama.kitmaker.net//features/127

I have used Revell liquid glue and Testors liquid glue with success.

Cheers

I like that Testors the best of them all.I found the Pactra in the same color/style bottle to work as well. (++) (++)

I've been a big fan of the Testor's tube, especially for indivdual links. It's sticky and holds pieces together and it doesn't permanently dry for a bit so you can put the track on over sprockets and stuff and get it perfectly into position.

I find the Testors tube glue hard to keep from stringing. I make a mix of Testers tube glue and Testers liguid glue. Apply with a brush. Works great!
