AndyjcClod 389 Posted May 5, 2020 I was wondering what glue do you peeps use for Tamiya R/Cs? I need to glue the light fittings into my Globeliner and glue the windscreen wipers on my King Hauler (As one fell off last time and I lost it) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fuijo 880 Posted May 5, 2020 I use liquid polystyrene cement. It welds the parts together, but it must be plastic-to-plastic, so primer, paint, grease or any other contaminant in the joint will prevent it from working properly. The advantage of liquid is the capillary action. The disadvantage is the capillary action. It will run between your fingers and the surface if you aren't careful. For light lenses I use canopy glue. It sets clear. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J@mes 2326 Posted May 5, 2020 I use hot glue, 2 part epoxy resin, Tamiya plastic cement & cyanoacrylate depending on the requirements. UV cured glue & melted sprue are other types I’d like to try some day. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Busdriver 6209 Posted May 6, 2020 UV setting glue is good. Seems to stick lean well. PVA if good for clear things like light lens etc. It dies clear. Also don’t dismiss good old UHU type glues . Used correctly as contact adhesives they can be very effective if a bit smelly 👃 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisRx718 4470 Posted May 24, 2020 “Canopy Lock” glue is good for transparent parts. It’s called that because it’s what folks use on rc airplanes to secure transparent canopy glass. It’s thick like PVA but dries completely clear. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
