- Gluing using minimal glue. great weight results using
odorless cyanoacrylate (the normal CA melts polystyrene )
- Low temperature Hot melt for fast gluing
- PVA wood glue, Epoxy
- Urethane
- Ultimate RC glue ( moisture cure urethane )
- UHU glue for foam, Gorilla Glue
these take time to set, but excellent
strength in 15-20 hours
