adhesive for model planes

It did dry quickly enough. As did doped tissue

What sort of plane would you use that for? Most flying models use combinations of wood and foam polystyrene and are covered by tissue doped with a shrinking dope or a thin nylon material. I have even seen some covered by what looks like coloured clingfilm. All sorts of specialist adhesives exist for them. There used to be magazines about it all, then came the drones which changed part of the hobby into basically a roter blade changing one when you hit things. On scale non flying models there are some contact glues now, but for strength in places not visible good old polystyrene cement works. Brian

What substrates are you attempting to join?

Wood to wood? Wood to metal? Wood to plastic? Wood to paper? Metal to plastic? Metal to paper? Plastic to paper? Plastic to plastic? etc etc?

Do you need a structural adhesive (that is, is it going to fly)?

Yes . Vague questions deserve vague answers.

Relenting a bit :-

Balsa or ply flying models ~ Balsa cement or PVA.

Display models (Airfix type) ~ one of the polystyrene cements (revell contact , Tamiya super thin etc)

Painted parts of display models ~ super glue (cyanoacrylate)

Epoxy can also be used if you are not too worried about weight.

Google lists something like 41/2 million hits in 0.54 seconds. Not a fan of Google?

Not really a glue at all . That's why it was called cement.

It dissolved the pieces so that when they 'hardened' the pieces were as one ie as strong as the pieces next to them

In that case just use the solvent weld adhesive intended for plastic plumbing ?

Probably work at joining two pieces But not really precise enough application .

Even the tube cements of the 70s 80s (even available now) are a bit imprecise better with the More liquid small applicator type . Say Tamiya thin or even Revell Contacta

Different plastic being glued.

Never heard of it!

simply a plastic solvent. Not even a glue really.

If it is for youngsters the bottle may be a bit prone to being knocked over unless mounted in a holder, a simple hole fractionally bigger than the bottle drilled into a wooden block can help with that but something with a spout such as the Revell product mentioned upthread is probably safer.

From my experience an impact adhesive...
