Glue??

[Kim Sleep]

When gluing together two Large surfaces of Styrene, what is best to use to glue 2 pieces together. I love Soe Goo, because its tough, waterproof, and you can peel off ares that are over-glued. This stuff shrinks when its drying, and creates a ripple effect. 2 Part Epoxy creates heat, and therefore ripples.
Ive just bought a bottle of
Zap-A-Gap, that seems to be a cyclo-acrylic glue. Whatcha think??

You want a weld/fusion, not a simple third-party bond. You will use a cohesive to melt and fuse the pieces together, not an adhesive. Weldon #16 is my favorite for big jobs, the brushable solvent is fine for smaller work.











Fuse whenever possible, bond only if you have to.

Go to hardware store and buy you a can of acetone. Welds styrene together like nobodies biz.

Great , thanks....wow, a tube of Testors, havnt seen that since I was making models as a kid. Its off to Amazon to see if I can find any of this, none of the Hobby shops have any of it

Ife always just sort of ignored the ripples in large area bonding before, and sanded/filled them out...now that I cannot sand as much, this will be better
