This is just a bit about some very good glue I bought. It's great for people who have a lot to build, or hate waiting minutes for glue to dry.

* * * * *

When I recently went to a condo in Las Vegas for vacation over the end of last summer with my parents (we saw Phantom of the Opera which kicked a**), but ANYWAY, I brought along a squad of unbuilt and unpainted Necron Warriors and Scarabs.

The key here is that this is NOT Necron specific. It's a suggestion.
I unfortunately did NOT have glue with me, so we took one of our days to drive around the city and found a few stores. There was THE PERFECT glue, at least for plastic pieces, which also worked for fixing up some metal too, though it's best on plastic.

I built and set my warriors and scarabs with this glue. They locked together and dried in near perfect condition in about 15 seconds MAX. It was amazing.

The brand is "Loctite" and it's called "Loctite" Super Glue with "Gel Control" which makes for a very good and comfortable grip while applying. The nozzle is medium length and does not, I repeat DOES NOT plug up because of the way the bottle is designed. We bought this glue for about 3 to 4 dollars. In Vegas it was $3.50 and here in CA where I live it's $4.25.

I HIGHLY recommend this glue. Just a friendly suggestion! Here's a quick image if anyone is interested in it.

No problem! It does dry within 15 seconds, or at least very quickly, so before applying, be sure that it's the position you want, cause at least for me (cause I know some glues disagree with some people, and work wonders for others) it held it very quickly.

It's a good glue for people who are building a lot of things, or certain awkward pieces. ^^ Good luck with building your models!

(oh, and there are instructions, you gotta twist the cap closed more before opening to break the seal thingy, haha but it doesn't drip at least) cool

Woot for the no-cloge bottle ! My current glue basicly instantly adheres to skin. xp I can not tell you how many Marines I have inadvertantly glued to my self, Worse still are tyranids cause they are poinky. xd I cant say my current glue either agrees or dissagrees with me, we have at this point an armed neutrality. This glue you speak of seems much more friendly, im gonna get some tonight. 3nodding

Haha, awesome! Ooooh yes... I've gotten flayed ones (believe it or not) attached to myself, and more than a few parts of some Vampire Counts.
I typically end up yelling "NO! You're supposed to glue to yourself! Not me!"
Or worse yet, when you accidently glue your fingers....to your other fingers.
Or paper towels or something else laying nearby.

xd Yep that sounds like a average night in my little shop, I got the glue and im gonna try it on some of my new IG. I hope it works out, cause its also half the price of my normal glue, this would be an awsome find. 3nodding

dunno if you can get it because your american (im english) but i use a glue which dries in about the same time, and only costs £1.20 (about $3.50) so its cheap and works wonders, it doesnt have the rubberised grip and it can clog somewhat, but it is incredible, as it sticks instantly (so you can stick 2 parts together and then put the model down while its dries) and if your working with metal then just hold it a couple of seconds for it to stick. then takes about 15 secs to dry, but in that time i can assemble most of a model, so it saves time... its called "GRIP: Thick" and it comes in 25g bottles.

i have had a few incidents with super glue, namely when i got glue over my fingers and then went to scratch my nose... painful, i can tell you that, trying to pry your hand off of your nose...

To Isis: That's great! But yeah, it's good to hear that. That's something about GW I found funny, they charge a billion dollars for a tiny chunk of plastic... but we still pay it. xd I remember telling a friend flat out "Man, they charge WAY too much for EVERYTHING here," then turned to the chashier and said "$17? Heres a 20." sweatdrop


To Fire-Link: That sounds good, I'll look and see if I spot it anywhere. I've adopted the brand above as my official glue, but I'll see if I can't find yours and give it a shot too. Cheap glue that works is always welcomed in my home. Hahaha...
