I find Faller Expert standard setting cement to work well when assembling kits, I tried using Testors plastic cement in the tube a while back and it was quite messy.
For windows I use the Testors Clear Parts Cement to hold the clear styrene in place, works very well if you try to apply the right amount. Too much and it ends up with a blob.

What do you think the plastic glues are? All of them are some type of solvent.
Testor’s liquid cement IS primarily MEK.
My ignorance is showing but…What is MEK? Thanks for helping this dolt!!!
Basically it is "nasty " stuff. I noticed one post using it in a quart can.
It is Methyl Ethyl Ketone
Make sure you don’t inhale the fumes!!! It can give you some serious health problems!
I use Testors glue in the black bottle, and Testors glue for clear plastic windows, etc.
Testors in the black bottle may have a very minute amount of MEK in it, but not enough to hurt you.
The black bottle Testors glue lasts a long time !
Does anyone know what the difference is between M.E.K. and M.E.K. Substitute? The real stuff is getting harder to find.
