Viridia Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Okay, at the moment I'm assembling a Scout squad using Elysian respirator heads and some other bits. Now, with the only modelling shop in my hometown being shut down, and the nearest one to my residence in Manchester not stocking any superglue, would Revell's Contacta Professional Mini glue work on bonding resin to plastic? It's the only thing I have without heading to a GW and buying some of their absurdly-priced (not to mention tiny) superglue bottles.

Redfinger Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Probably not, but any hardware store should carry super glue, and that will work fine for gluing resin, no need to spend the big bucks when a $0.99 cent tube of super glue from the hardware store works just as well.

Sons of the Forge Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I buy all my super-glue from sainsburys works just as good as GW and half the price for around same amount of glue plus I get staff discount...best bet as said any hardware store or major supermarket are your best bets. Stay away from the OTT priced GW super glue £4+ never again.

Sainsbury's does superglues? :P I'm hoping to get in a stop at Hobbycraft when I head home for a couple of days, hopefully they'll have something.

stinkenheim Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I usually get mine from pound shops, normally comes in packs of about 10 for £1. I find it goes off quite quick in the tube (usually a week after opening it'll be unusable) but when it's 10p s tube I can suck it up lol.

Darklighter Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I get my superglue from Morrisons. I think most supermarkets sell it these days, so there is no need to hunt down hobby/craft shops. I'd also pin the heads in place just to give that extra hold as super glue can get brittle with time.
