Rob,
I used both types of solvent only because I was originally having trouble with the orange label solvent. David helped solve the issue and that was due to oil contamination of the molded parts. Scrub the hell out of them with scouring powder and degreaser before you do anything. I have yet to do this to my parts as I stopped glueing parts together after this was discovered and switched my attention back to design and rough assembly work. I do plan to use both the solvent as well as the screws provided when the time comes to bond everything together. I recommend dry assembling the kit a few times with the screws. This will familiarize you with how things go together and allow you to see what screw holes need opening up and adjusting. Better to solve those issues now.
