Glue availability in S. Korea

Jan 26, 2009 9 Replies

Heya folks!



I'm one of those truly weird people who loves Testors' tube glue. I can't get it her in Korea, and while I find that the tubes that come with the Academy kits are great, they never last me for more than two or three kits. What's the best alterna- tive (beside bottle glue, I hate that stuff!) that I can go with?



I've been using several different types of super glue, and then using white glue for clear parts, but I miss the good weld of the Toluene stuff. I picked up a tube of (all in Korean!) PCV glue. Any clue if this is usable? Smells the same, doesn't seem to craze the clear parts, and seems to hold okay. At least, no problems so far.



Anyway, any guesses from the group?



advTHANKSance!

Drew,

If you take some patience with bottle cements then Tamiya Orange Cap has all of the good effects of the old "Yellow Tube" (says he dating himself) Testors but none of its major drawbacks like stringing.

You could also try to order it from either Walthers or Squadron Shop among others who carry it.
