Best glue to use adhering Plastruct styrene to kit parts

Post by CementNotGlue »

Hi all
Just been on the Plastruct website where:

http://www.plastruct.co.uk/CementT2.html;

They sell plastic weld cement, but is it the best glue to use with "precision extruded white styrene plastic"?

Thanks in anticipation

Yes. That'll stick just about any hard plastic. Some of the usual kit glues wont touch the plastic of the extruded beams.

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.

Which is why I use Evergreen not Plastruct, although I realize that may not be an option for all.
