Can any one some photo of the glue?

I use cyanoacrylate glue, also known as super glue. Sorry, I don't have a picture.

It is designed to be used with cyanoacrylate or CA for short. It goes by common names like Krazy Glue, Super Glue, Zap-A-Gap.

I use CA too. There are a number brands you can find in supermarkets. The best known may be the one called "AA superglue". Try to buy the smallest volume you can find. I am a slow modeller and getting rather frustrated time and time again to see a bottle of the CA dried up solid having only used once.

My better half bought me a couple of very small tubes of CA from a hardware shop in Kwun Tong. They are only $3 each. I will give it a go to see whether they works just the same.

Store them in refrigerator. I have one that have been opened for about 3 to 4 months and it is still working good.
