Glue

Glue

We often get asked which glue to use with our models.

 

PLA MODELS

The best glue to use is Humbrol Poly Cement.  It's a glue specifically for plastic and works well with the PLA plastic we use.

 

Limitations

Humbrol Poly Cement doesn't work to glue non-plastic materials.  Don't use this glue to attach plastic models to wooden bases or to attach magnets to the plastic models.  The plastic glue doesn't form a strong bond to non-plastic materials.

 

RESIN MODELS

Including sticking resin and PLA parts together.

The strongest glue to use is a two part epoxy, and we would recommend this for small contact areas for example when attaching machine guns.
An all purpose adhesive also works well but the bond is not as strong.  An all purpose adhesive works better when the contact area is larger.
 
 

 

Caution

Take care and always follow the safety advice supplied with the glue.
