So, let's see …
Gel SuperGlue for minis
LocTite Indoor Industrial Adhesive for terrain/basing
Finishing Wood Glue for some stuff
Regular Wood Glue for other stuff
Cow Glue (PVA) for sealing, papier meche, and decoupage
Glue Sticks for holding down paper to be varnished over
Fabric Glue for snot/slime Seven … seven glues! Ha, ha, ha! |

I use a hot glue gun to stick figs to craft sticks for painting.Afterwards,just pop them off (though sometimes they
pop themselves off too early). |
| Winston Smith | 02 Mar 2016 7:53 p.m. PST |
Gel superglue for gluing Flames of War figures (or those not made by Battlefront) to plastic bases.
Regular superglue for gluing spears into open hands.
5 minute epoxy for gluing lead or resin tanks together.
Gorilla superglue for ditto.
And above two for horses to riders.
White glue for flocking bases.
Gorilla glue foaming urethane glue for entrapping gravel and ballast when making bocage plaques, river banks, and similar. I'm sure I'll think of more. |
| McWong73 | 02 Mar 2016 7:55 p.m. PST |
CA gels, plastics glue and quality PVA. Used to use various super glues and zap a gap, but have found CA gels easier to use. |
| Cosmic Reset | 02 Mar 2016 8:06 p.m. PST |
I use four products for sticking things together (though they are not all really "glue"): Tenax 7R solvent for welding styrene, plex, ABS, etc. CA+ superglue for some plastic joints, and most metal and resin construction, also for mounting figs on bases. 3M Spray adhesive for foam for laminating extruded polystyrene foam. Liquitex artist's acrylic matte medium for assembly of foam buildings (walls, floors, and other constructs. Also as "glue" for affixing flock to foam terrain, figure bases, etc. |

CA two types, regular and odorless.
white glue
wood glue
plastic cement, two types
epoxy
hot glue So eight regularly. |
| rmaker | 02 Mar 2016 11:31 p.m. PST |
Three. Wallpaper border adhesive or alternatively Aleene's Tacky Glue for most things. Aleene's Tack-It Over & Over to attach stuff to bottle caps for painting. |

Superglue
UHU for basing
Polystyrene cement
PVA
sometimes two part epoxy. |
| MHoxie | 03 Mar 2016 2:38 a.m. PST |
Loctite gel superglue
White (cow) glue for flocking
Tacky glue to hold figures temporarily to the glue sticks Green stuff doesn't count, does it? Use it to adhere big chunks together where the fit isn't close enough for superglue. |

Add one moe. I forgot the plastic glue for those PSC tanks. |
| Frederick | 03 Mar 2016 6:05 a.m. PST |
Testors plastic glue
Zap-A-Gap
Epoxy
And, of course, Elmer's White Glue – the universal go-to when in doubt |
| Doug MSC | 03 Mar 2016 7:58 a.m. PST |
Super glue gel. Works well for all my metal figures. |
| Garand | 03 Mar 2016 8:19 a.m. PST |
Hmmm… Devcon Gel Superglue
Loctite Superglue (different consistency)
Testors PLastic cement
Devcon 60-sec Epoxy
Devcon 5-minute epoxy
Devcon 20-minunte epoxy
Elmer's Wood Glue I think that covers it pretty much. I also used to use Plastruct Plastic Weld (cured faster than Testors so good to glue parts you need glued now, while Testors was good to glue parts you needed to fiddle with), but it hasn't been stocked by my local store for a while and I ran out… Damon. |
| etotheipi | 03 Mar 2016 9:18 a.m. PST |
Doh! I forgot the glue gun that I use for some terrain projects, spray adhesive for large ground cover areas, rubber cement for various, and "foam glue" for gluing foam. |
| Shagnasty | 03 Mar 2016 9:24 a.m. PST |
Super glue for metal on metal. Testor's Home Cement for most other purposes with occasional Elmer's Glue All. |
| Weasel | 03 Mar 2016 9:33 a.m. PST |
Just the one, but I stopped using glue for bases, and use this modelling paste stuff. Originally got it to add some texture to the base and avoid the pitchers mound effect, but it basically turns into cement when it dries, so it'll attach the figure quite firmly to the base too. |

1) Hot glue is my goto glue for big stuff, i.e. terrain.
2) Epoxy is my goto glue otherwise, for metal figures and metal to plastic bonding.
3) Polystyrene cement: Plastruct Weldene for styrene to styrene, Bondene when that doesn't work (dissimilar plastics).
4) PVA: White PVA (school glue) for flocking; Yellow PVA (carpenter's glue) for terrain when I don't use hot glue.
5) Scenic Cement / Acrylic Matte Media sometimes for flocking.
6) Acrylic modeling paste / acrylic texture gel if I'm using that on a base anyway, since it can be colored with acrylic paint and makes a fine adhesive.
7) Cyanoacrylate (super glue) when I'm in a hurry and willing to use a real adhesive to fix it later after it comes apart again.
8) Contact cement for some terrain purposes where the material won't bond well with hot glue or yellow PVA.
9) Fabric glue for well, fabric type gluing. I think that's 12 since #3,4,5 are 2 glues each. |

UHU glue for fixing figures to card strips for painting and then to their final plywood bases.
Superglue gel for fixing riders to horses and figures to metal bases
Epoxy rapid for weapons to hands and larger scale riders to their horses
PVA for bases (with sand added to the wet glue and then diluted to fix static grass)
Polystyrene cements for plastic kits or liquid polystyrene weld |

Lots but one of the most interesting and useful I've come across is Roket card glue. |
| Dasher | 17 Mar 2016 1:37 p.m. PST |
Zap-A-Gap for 90% of applications. Rarely build plastic models, but when I do, standard Testor's styrene cement. Frequently use two-part epoxy for large scale heavy jobs like wings, etc. White glue for Styrofoam and occasional wood pieces. And finally, for weird, incompatible materials projects, like gluing neoprene bases to plastic magnetic strip, I bring out The Big Gun, The Queen Mother, The Ayatollah of Gotta-Hold-Ah: Liquid Nails. That stuff will bond smoke to a waterfall. And I don't mean resin miniatures of same, I mean actual SMOKE to an actual WATERFALL! On a side note: I have found the highly-touted "Gorilla Glue" to be useless for any hobby application. |

Fabric/Tacky Glue
Foam Glue
Glue Sticks
Hot Glue
Industrial/Household Adhesive
Metal Cement
Modeling Acrylic
Modeling Polymer
Plastic Solvent Cement
Polystyrene Glue
PVA
PVA Spray
Spray Adhesive
Wallpaper Glue
Wood Glue … with a little bit of compression. I removed and combined brand names and made a few generalizations. |
