Given some recent debate about plastics, I thought I'd do my own humble "how to" guide on the chance it might help someone out there, or in case someone might have better ideas! Cheers :)

Thanks fort the report. Not heard of the Tamiya lemon glue. Would it be safer for kids, I wonder? John |

Cheers John, and sadly no I don't think Limonene glue is safer for kids. In fact its been banned some countries because kids drank it thinking it was fruit juice I've heard! Smells nice but still not good to drink! |

Limonene sounds very similar to Plastruct Bondene, which also smells nicely of citrus and is less obviously toxic than their Plastic Weld cement. I use Bondene for everything and only reach for the Plastic Weld if the Bondene fails. |

UHU and Revell weld nicely. |

You can buy files specifically for filing plastic and they work a charm. I think they are called sanding twigs and are made by durasand. |
