Sorry to go on about glues...and this one is in answer to Martins query,
Impact adhesives like Evostik and similar is still very good for bonding large flat areas, if they are fairly level, as in kitchen worktops, cabinets etc and can harden further over time to be impossible to remove or debond those surfaces. They do have a limited use in our models for laminating and attaching rubber fenders and so on, but will remove paint finishes instantly down to the primer!, but they are getting expensive, are still smelly and are gradually disappearing from the shop shelves because of the rules governing their sales and storage etc. They are, of coarse extremely flammable as well as doing some peoples brains in (Sniffers)
They are slowly being replaced with spreadable acrylic based contact adhesives in industry as these are safer to use. In our modelling spectrum an example of a runnier adhesive like this would be De-Luxe materials Super Phatic resin glue, which is very runny and doesn't appear to be any good at all but WoW does it stick!!!!when used right.
Evostik and the like are not recommended for thin plastics as the solvent can melt it, but the Aliphatic Resin will work beautifully and I sheeted over all the foam innards on my Police boat hull with Plasticard 0.05, beautiful.
As far as the No Nails etc go they are excellent for holding up curtain rail supports or architraves on the wall with just a thin panel pin till its dry and some of the later ones are indeed acrylic as well. They can't be spread over large surfaces and are designed to be used with the blob here and there method, it would also make your wrists hurt to much to work the applicator and cost a small fortune for large areas.
Every modern glue is designed for a specific job and while we try and use them for other things they do what they are designed to do when used correctly.
(PS. I Spent 3 years working and developing adhesives for the DIY business....so not everything I say can be taken as true...!!)
Hope this helps,............Ron.
