Elmers always, very thick, lots of patience, sometimes clamped, sometimes paperweighted, and once in a while on crackers(usually not on purpose!).

PVA Glue for me. Just enough wet glue on each surface to be stuck, as you would find on the back of a postage stamp. I buy the PVA white glue in bulk lots and it goes a long way - dispense with a small bottle. You can use droplets to make rivets and skim a bubble over a window or porthole to create a glazed window. The glue is white, but dries clear.

Aleene's, since as a newbie to papermodeleling, that was recommended. Also Liquitex Matte Medium and Gel since I'm used to working with them from my days in graphics. Need to scout up some Duco and give it a try, since I remember it from my stick and tissue stuff of long ago that it worked pretty good. Even used it on plastic models before I started using MEK and Testor's Liquid.

PVA white glue all the way for me, although doesn't go too well with metal parts or transparent canopies, its reliability with paper is well tested.

3M spray for lamination
Aleenes Tacky for wheels (lamination) Beacons 3 in 1 advanced craft glue for everything else. Can't say enough about the above. I know most Europeans use Uhu Alleskleber, but I can't find it in the USA. Other Uhu products I've used don't work well. You can find Beacons 3 in 1 at Michaels (maybe Hobby Lobby?) or the web site: http://www.beaconcreates.com/cgthree2.html Acid free, clear, and grabs fast, but can be repositioned for 5 or so seconds. I can't say enough about it. Last edited by ibmaupin; 05-24-2008 at 08:41 PM.

Aleene's also makes a clear gel version of their Tacky glue. Nice for clear parts.

I'm partial to Aleene's Fast Grab Tacky Glue (purple bottle) for most use, Duco here and there, gap-filling cyanoacrylic (super glue) on rare occasions, 3M 77 spray for laminating. I've tried others, but I come back to these. Oh, yeah, and a Testor's glue for clear parts.
B-Manic, you take me back aways, to lower elementary school, and peppermint flavored paste. Lepage glue was the "super glue" of the era and it wouldn't stick to anything except paper and your fingers!:D Bob, the blueeyed bear PS: A single company makes almost all of the cyanoacrylic glues, so don't worry about brands --- go to a good hobby shop and buy it in bottles, not tubes. Store them in the freezer compartment of your fridge and they'll last forever (I learned that from a little hobby shop that couldn't afford to have any of their stock go bad).

I use UHU has my main glue but struggle with its thickness and stringiness (as I did as a kid as well) - are there any non-water-based glues out there that can be easily applied with a fine brush top contact surfaces? Unfortunately many of the brand names don't translate between regions...
