What glue can I use (other than Superglue)

WmTasker · #1 07/01/2004, 11:10 PM

I've been wondering if anyone has tried to use any other type of glue? I've been looking at Home Depot, reading labels, but I've been scared to use them. Has anyone else tried any of these glues? Up till now I've been using superglue gel.

Thanks
Billy

Yeah .... I didn't have that much luck with it. I actually like the superglue over it.

I like having both the epoxy AND superglue. Try anchoring a huge head of Acro with superglue to a rock: impossible

You just have to understand the physical properties of each type of glue then application becomes more obvious as to which situation warrants which glue.

I even needed both once for gorgs. I made the base with the epoxy, then cleaned the stick and superglued it into the hole.

I don't know of any other glue in common use besides epoxy and SG.

CA Glue from the Hobby store is cheaper.

My LFS recommended Stickfast instant CA adhesive. http://www.stickfast.net Haven't tried it yet.

I use the generic brand from home depot, you can get two tubes for the price of a single tube of the namebrand, it's a black, white and red tube that just says super glue gel. Had very good luck with it. Make sure it says cyanoacrylate, same as the name brand.
