Some suggestions? Tamiya is not on Prime. Other cheap ways of getting Tamiya on line? Thanks

What you want is Liquid Poly.

Go to the hardware store and get some MEK. Does the same thing and much cheaper.

Testors with the little metal application nozzle is awesome and Iyou can buy it on Amazon. Testors 3507 liquid cement. It's not the cheapest but I find it to be really good

I use a bottle of Humbrol Liquid Poly that I got off of Amazon.

Due to complaints from the wife many years ago, I had to give up using anything using MEK due to the smell. Didn't bother me because I lost most of my brain cells as a kid/teen using Floquil paints. LoL.

Have you checked your local RC hobby stores? I get my Tamiya glues from such a local store.

Any hobby shop online that sells plastic models should carry Tamiya.

I noticed Hobby Lobby sells Mr Cement Deluxe liquid glue. I never heard of it. $4 USD a bottle. link

If you like Tamiya Extra Thin Cement:

Tamiya Airbrush cleaner and a bottle of Tamiya Extra Thin Cement and see if the Ingredients in the bottles are the same and if the airbrush Cleaner will cement parts together.
Since the video I now know its 50/50 mix with the cement and 51/49 mix for the cleaner.

One could save even more money (assuming you use lots of glue) but mixing your own from raw solvents.
