dread05 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Hello, I just got my first resin model today and I've been wondering if there is any type of super glue that will give me a little leeway on positioning the pieces. From my experience liquid super glue is instant. How about the gw super glue?

Naryn Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I always use loctite gel superglue. Gives a little play and I think it holds better than liquid. Just make sure to really score the faces of whatever you’re glueing, especially if it’s metal or a heavy bit of resin.

Jukkiz Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 GWs super glue is really bad, it gets super dry and brittle later on and usually drys in bottle super quick too.

Grim Dog Studios Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Loctite gel super glue gets my recommendation, or the loctite brush on stuff. Both are far easier to control, I always end up squirting out too much super glue if I use the GW or other "runny" glues and getting bits stuck to my fingers rather than the miniature.

NiceGuyAdi Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 A little tip with the loctite, as I always find it keeps losing glue the moment the cap is off and before you’ve even squeezed the tube: collect the glue on the end of a cocktail stick and use that to apply to the model. You’ll get better control and save yourself from glue going everywhere when you push parts together.

NovemberIX Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Another recommendation for loctite, they actually have a specific product meant to give you more time before it fully catalyzes called “extra time control” it’s thicker than normal CA but not quite as thick as the gels, and has an extra 5 seconds of drying time. I used to use it regularly when I first started but have since switched to the professional liquid glue because of increased confidence and because I kept gluing my fingers to models accidentally holding the bits together (aka a little bit of gel goes a long way) ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/357049-super-glue-viscosity/#findComment-5344929 Share on other sites More sharing options...
