• Andy from Oz again....lol...what ABS glue do you use?...I've Tamiya ABS Cement # 87137 which is gel like & Deluxe Materials Plastic Magic 10sec Cement which is very thin,curious as I use Revell Contacta in the blue tapered bottle with metal tube for normal styrene. *NM*
  • The one time I had to glue ABS I used ABS pipe cement. I'm sure superglue would also work. *NM* *PIC*
  • I’ve used MEK (methyl ethyl ketone), which is the same or similar to Testors liquid cement. *NM*
    • I think it worked, because ABS = Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene. *NM*
    • Yrs ago I had a bottle of MEK,now gone, the Tamiya ABS specific glue is Gel like & hard to use, & Tamiyas Extra Thin Low Odor # 87236 is unavaiable, so its the Deluxe Materials Plastic Magic which gets used, this is for the Tamiya Toyoda AA, nice kit BTW, lol. *NM*
  • If you have any of the Revell mixed media diecast (Bullitt Charger/Mustang, for example) there was a tiny tube of Ambroid pro weld (?) in the box
