I've also used quick set epoxy and that works OK too.

Me too. Zap-a-gap every time although I prefer the medium (green bottle) version.

I would use CA glue, but i would go for the flexy cyano , impact toughened with a synthetic rubber in the formulation to give higher strength so less chance of small heavy items (for there size) coming off

SteamboatPhil:
Having just found the wonders of cyno (and no longer sticking myself together) I would go down the CA route. Also thanks to you DickyD for now giving me a list of what sticks what, as in the past I've only ever built wooden power boats (plus a few springers)but I'm now branching into a bit of scale. At least now I know it won't all fall to bits

andyn:
I second the Zap-A-Gap idea, also Slo-Zap is very good, and some stuff with a red cap I got off ModelPower at llanberis is good stuff too, even though the nozzle has broken off and I now have to use a toothpick.

I will never buy a bottle of thin cyano again, it's stuck me to other parts of me far too many times, and has ruined many a good model.

I did once stick both hands together, and not being one to go to hospital and not having heard of superglue debonder, I decided to remove the hands from each other with a X-Acto blade between my teeth....
