Ive recently been making Tamiya models and just wanted to share (if you dont already know) that humbrol liquid poly + Tamiya model plastic = the ultimate Adhesion.
I noticed this when i was able to pick up my 1:48 tiger tank that has a metal chasis up by the smoke launchers on the side of the turret.
How strong is that.
Its almost scary
Hope if you try it it has the same results.

Yeah, I must say I have noticed that too. I've tried a few other brands, but find myself just buying it because it is readily available.

It glues fingers well together too. My son was building a model and happened to get some a his forefinger and tried to get it off with the thumb of the same hand and violà fingers stuck!! I got stuck to him trying to get him out of his predicament - real three stooges type stuff... :-)

Slightly

I always used to use CA glue by placing a drop or two on my modelling board and then transfering it to by model with a cocktail stick/toothpick, but often leant on the pool of glue and stuck myself to the borad. Someone gave me the tip of using a plastic milk bottle top to drop the glue on - easier to see where it is - less chance of leaning on it etc. Now i just get bottle tops stuck to my arm :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
