I'm gluing coffee stirrer floorboards to the bed of a Yesteryear car conversion- what glue would work best? Krazyglue? What about for plastic card? |

I like Loc-Tite indoor adhesive. If it's good enough to hold the kitchen together, it's good enough to hold some minis together. |

Gorilla glue- bonds concrete to stone outside in wet and freezing cold. |

Gorilla glue is awesome, but has to be used with caution, as it expands. Since it's moisture activated, this can be controlled to a degree by pre-mixing a wee dab of glue with a wee dab of water, but you still have to be prepared to take care of anything that might ooze out of a joint. Doug |

yeah, Gorilla glue is strong, but the expansion is crazy. Thanks for the advice guys |

The Gorilla glue I have in UK is like a normal PVA woodworking glue, slightly off white in colour and a bit more viscous. It certainly doesn't expand in use. Perhaps different in USA? |

@ steamingdave47 That's weird. I'm in the UK too and the stuff I've bought looks – in it's bottled form – like runny honey. But – when you use it – you really need to clamp it as it foams and expands! I bought it on Amazon link It's wonderful stuff: I've even repaired exterior brickwork with it. Mind you, I've bought a lot of Gorilla branded cyano (super) glue as well for modelling. That is pretty tough glue and – like all cyanos – doesn't expand. I'd use that for sticking stuff on diecasts, to be honest! John T |
