Anyone have a favorite brand of super glue? I actually found the best kind is sold by Wally World known as "Future Glue" made by the Super Glue company. I guess the guys who made "the original" have made some really great super glue.
This glue has the best brush applicator I've used with any super glue that has it, and sets fairly quickly without the need for accelerator. All in all, if I can't use plastic cement, this glue is the best, especially with metal to plastic or even metal on metal.
Anyone else have a brand they recommend?

I use "household GOOP" for my plastic on plastic stuff - it seems rubber based and even if a model 'breaks' it still will flex back into place and look like it's not broken - it's a nice thing to be able to "limp" your models thru a battle if they get hurt and fix em up when you get home, but in all honesty, that's a really rare thing. I've dropped my models on tile floors and they just bounce and nothing splinters off - the rubbery nature of the glue promotes flexing to a rediculous extreme (to the point where if it actually "breaks" it just continues to bend for like...as far as you can bend it but then it's a 'loose' joint after that and can be bent without resistance).
if I have to use a "superglue" type glue it's for forgeworld resin models and metals. I use GaleForce Nine's hobby glue. if you buy it, make sure you buy the accelerator too..it's awesome - you put on a drop of the glue then spritz it with the accelerator and BAM it's 100% dried and set. yes, literally as quick as you can say bam..it fully sets that quickly. this is super nice cuz then I'm spending literally 0 time holding pieces in place, blowing on them and otherwise waiting for them to dry. goodstuff - 2 thumbs up.

Hmmmm...that household Goop stuff sounds pretty cool. I've never seen it around here before, though chances are it's here and I'm just not paying attention. Either way, I'll keep my eyes open for the stuff. Thanks for the pointers!

I use Wilko's superglue gel for metal bits and Humbrol poly cement for plastics.

Plastic: Revell Platic Cement
Superglue: Pattex Two Component Super Glue (if that stuff can't glue something together nothing for normal housholds can)
That stuff is great. I even dripped the glue on my hands and nothing happend. As long there is no activator on your fingers. Then you'll have a problem...

I hear you on that one. The closest hobby shop was just under 50 miles away, and the owner just had a kid, so he sold the shop to spend more time w/ his family (which I don't blame him for), though there aren't really any 40k shops within 50 miles of my home  |

Testors Plastic Adhesive. It's like soldering your plastic pieces together.
Generic Superglue Gel for most metal-to-metal and metal-to-plastic pieces.
2-Part Epoxy on delicate things that need a strong hold. 2,000 lb. test is not to be sneered at.

Problem with plastic glue is, if you glue it, there's no going back. I prefer to use super-glue for all my minis, then if I see something on a plastic mini, you can just pull him apart quite easily.
Plus, plastic glue doesn't work on Resin. Bit obvious really but still, worth keeping in mind.

I use Flash Medium CA. It comes in the biggest bottle of superglue I've ever seen. I also use Testor's plastic cement, but it is stringy and even if you WANT to take something apart, with Testor's you simply cannot.

Well, while hunting for cheap budget glue I found some dirt cheap crap, which was awfull at supergluing but when streched between jaws etc of Tyranid warriors the cheap gooey mess makes brilliant drool. Think its called M-Boss or something.
