Hi everyone. I ran out of superglue the other day and I am going to be ordering some miniatures tomorrow from an online distributor. I usually use Loctite super glue ( http://www.homedepot.com/p/Loctite-4g-Ultra-Gel-Control-Super-Glue-Bottle-1363589/202020461 ) as it comes out like a gel and is very easy to control.

However, the website im ordering my miniatures also offers super glue, but I have no idea which one to get. I don't want to buy it only to find that it's really stingy and stretchy.... or that it's not viscous and runs all over the place like ink...

I'm considering The Army Painter: Plastic Glue. It says it can create dots of glue, but I need to know for sure that when I place a dot I'm not going to get a string of glue coming off the tip.

Id really appreciate help with this, thanks a bunch.

AP Plastic Glue is not superglue, it is as the name states, plastic glue - it 'dissolves' the plastic and mends the pieces together. It will not work with metal and plastics that do not 'melt' in this manner. I've tried it a little, and it seems good. The bottle is good, only what you need comes out, though the glue is (if I recall correctly) a bit thinner than gel.

Unfortunately, I've only used it to assemble some minis for the kids, so my experience is limited. Send me a PM to remind me and I can do a test of the consistency when I get home.

Almost Perftec! Aw, crap.
zap a gap has several different thicknesses of super glue from fine to medium to a thick gel. They are very good if you can get your hands on some.

Why order a different glue? My local Walmart and Kroger grocery store both carry that same glue and Walmart has it cheaper. I really like the Loctite glue and use it for everything.
