Scout13 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Ok, I`m happy to use supeglue for your "normal" sized models from Forgeworld but I`m beginning to move into some of the larger models, particularly vehicles and dreadnaughts. What type of glue would people recommend? Super glue or epoxy resin? Maybe there is something I haven`t thought of?

MajorKhaos Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I use Zap-A-Gap's Medium CA+ for all my ForgeWorld stuff. If it's a big joint it get's pinned first to give additional strength. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275333-best-glue-for-fw-vehicles/#findComment-3369611 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxichobbit Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I just use superglue - whatever is your favoured brand. As long as the resin is prepared first (washed, distressed/scratched and pinned where necessary) you shouldn't have a problem. More likely for the resin to break than the bond, which is a pain if you want to take anything apart again. Edit: I've never assembled a FW super heavy nor flier, so I don't know if it would work for them. But for standard vehicles, including Dreadnoughts, it works fine.

Chaeron Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Loctite Superglue for me - but I use that on both plastics and metals, in addition to resin, without issue.

Gurth Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Depends on the weight of the part and the forces the joint will be subjected to. For larger pieces like hulls, dreadnought legs and bodies, etc. I'd recommend epoxy, while superglue will do fine for the smaller parts.
