What do you use for glue?

ModelRailroadForums.com is a free Model Railroad Discussion Forum and photo gallery. We cover all scales and sizes of model railroads.

For styrene to styrene, I use MEK, Testors, Tenax, etc. For wood to wood, I use Mercury's thick CA. Small detail parts, their super thin CA, which is applied with a small wire. You never try to apply any "thin" CA directly to a model, via the applicator.

For tough "opposite material" situations, like having to glue rail to a bridge that has wood ties, I use Goo. The Goo is applied to the bottom of the rail, and after placing into position, the rail is heated with a soldering iron, that cures the Goo immediately. The joint stays flexible, but won't break down due to expansion or contraction.
 
i just use the standard testor model glue in the little black bottle squarish shaped thing lol it has a fine point aplicator it actually bonds plastic through a layer of paint on each piece
