Years ago I used AMBROID glue for wood, worked ok. What is the new stuff on the block? I have 12 Campbell kits (darn ebay)
Thanks Folks

Thats all I ever use. Works for me. Have fun with your Campbell kits.

I also second the Ambroid. Another good choice is Testor’s Fuel Proof, dries clear, slightly flexable and good initial tack.

Ambroid’s still around. White glue works well on wood-wood joints. You can use CA but the trick there is to apply a thin coat to both pieces and let it dry. Then apply a small amount and join the parts.

THanks guys, I will make a trip to the hobby lobby they have all that stuff.
I use CA gap filling , a small old brush,and toothpicks. and a cement that is used for model car windshelds for the windows,on my kits.

I use Faller Super Xpert for plastics. Needle type dispenser.
Campbell kits are mostly wood. I use carpenters wood glue (white glue on steroids) for the wood parts and solvent based paint to avoid warping the parts. Pour out a pool of glue and use it till it skins. Pour another pool. Soft drink “to go” lids from fast food places make good containers for this.
I’ll second the use of wood glue for wood kits (applied sparingly with a toothpick). ACC really doesn’t work at all on wood, unless you either drench the work with it or seal the wood, neither of which produces a really dependable joint (I know; I’ve tried to make it work). Old Ambroid is too gooey for me, except for very specific applications.
OK, Elmers Carpenter wood glue it is! I cheat on painting wood kits I make my own stains using the pigments from my company.
Thank you for the feedback.
