I also use water-based "white" glue. I find that, for long tabs, brushing the glue on takes too much time (the glue starts to dry) and applies too much glue (the paper can soften or warp). So, for anything but the smallest of tabs, I spread the glue using a wedge-shaped piece of thin, flexible plastic. A piece of scrap card could work as well. Using this "applicator", it's easy to spread thin, even layers of glue across long tabs very quickly. Hope this is helpful! |

UHU all purpose tube is best for parts, 3M spray is great for laminating

I use UHU all-purpose for daily use as well, it doesn't wet paper, bond relatively quick, and still removable for some amount of time, without much damage to the parts. The drawbacks are it become shiny when dried (not much problem if you apply them neatly and carefully) and can form annoying 'strings' when wet.
and it smells bad, unless you're a sniffer Another glue i use (and have used) are CA for bonding metals and strengthening small parts; Fox PVAC, Local glue similar to Elmer with thicker consistency; and UHU Stick for bonding large area i.e. formers I also experimented with ground rice as alternative, when i was a younger kid

UHU All-purpose clear glue (or Velpon when I stock up on supplies in the Netherlands) is excellent for large surfaces as it doesn't wet paper. It does form strings though. I prefer white PVA glue for the finer work.

Hello :-) for just about everything, I use a Pritt Stick, and very occasionally wood glue for bulking up some joints and superglue for a quick job or affixing tiny parts. My main reason for adding something here is that I don't buy 'branded' superglues (icocyanates) any more, instead favouring the sort of stuff that is used for gluing on false fingernails - it's the same glue, and around half the price over here. Interesting that UHU was mentioned - can't stand the stuff!

Re UHU
Plumdragon UHU rules...it is not available in the USA for some reason, although the stick version exists! It meets the criteria most model makers want, can hold a piece in place until final positioning, is quick to dry, you can use it to fill small crevices and paint over...and as everything has a downside, the stringiness could be avoided with practice, the smell, well that is subjective...for me, it reminds me of my happy childhood days (yes I made scratch built models then)
