Glue

Choosing the right adhesive determines whether a seam remains invisible or whether your model falls apart. For styrene and other plastics, use an adhesive that temporarily dissolves the material, so that the parts fuse together rather than simply being stuck; different rules apply to metal, wood and transparent parts. Here are the Deluxe Materials adhesives that we use ourselves, with details of what each type is intended for. If you’re unsure which one you need, please refer to the glue advice on the product page.
