Testors Cement Glue
I would highly recommend Testors Cement Glue to every modeler. However, there are a few drawbacks. One of these drawbacks is how, without applying much if any pressure to the tube, the glue comes pouring out, possibly landing on an inconvenient spot on your model. The caps provided with this kit, though, do help a little bit with this problem. If you are going to to buy cement glue, I highly recommend getting the caps with them, as it helps greatly with gluing small parts. One drawback with the caps is that the glue will dry inside the caps, and eventually will clog them. (Hint: For maximum use of the caps, I suggest buying small pins to poke holes through the partially dried glue in the caps.) Also, this glue has a strong odor. Other than that, I personally like this glue much better than Testors Non-Toxic Cement Glue, because it seems that this glue dries faster, a quality that I find especially helpful when having to hold two pieces together till the glue dries. In spite of its drawbacks, I would still highly recommend this glue.
Excellent Glue
This glue dries in descent time, and is wonderful for all sorts of plastic models; but should be used sparingly on small model parts. I have used this glue since I began modeling and it has always served me well (when I did not use overkill amounts or break a piece too often - the glue has a harder time gluing over already dried glue). It certainly dries faster than the non-toxic stuff. My only real problem is that it has a strong odor that gives people with sensitive noses headaches. However, this is the best glue that I have yet had experience with and I would certainly recommend this stuff to anyone, and especially to beginners (since it's cheap). I would also recommend buying the caps Testors make to put on the end of these tubes to have the glue pour out in thinner lines. Young kids should be watched around this stuff because it is not non-toxic.
Hard to control the squeeze
Actually squeezing this stuff out requires a little bit of a learning curve. Sometimes it seems like the stuff is under pressure even without squeezing and will start squirting out even without any intent. This could be dangerous of a blob lands where you don't want it. Here's a pro tip. Try not to hold the tube perpendicular to the floor (straight down) when gluing. Use a more shallow angle and that will help minimize the risk of over-application. I've found that the little included tips here help mitigate that quite a bit but also that they're somewhat difficult to keep on the tube. But still. I've been using Testors cement for as long as I can remember. And will continue to use it.. well.. forever. :)
Glue Ain't Just Glue
I've used Testor's Plastic Model Cement as long as I can remember and, ironically, Testor's plastic model cement is older than I am, but not by much. I complain about it from time to time when getting the exact amount I need out of the tube and when I don't get an adequate weld for smaller parts; however, the ready availability, consistency of product and years of experience make it my number one choice for general modeling use. I use other glues and adhesives depending on the application and my arsenal of glues has expanded over the years. But, when it comes to good ole plastic model assembly, Testor's Plastic Model Cement is always within reach on my workbench.
Great Value
This glue from Testors is a great value for the money. I have used this glue from Testors ever since I started plastic modeling. You get 2x 7/8oz tubes of plastic modeling cement and 4 precision glue tips for just $2.89. I have learned that squeezing out the glue is better if you put it on a piece of cardboard and apply it to what you are working on with a toothpick. This glue is great for beginners and also other hobbyists that hate to spend big $ on plastic modeling cement. In my opinion Testors is the best modeling cement company out there nothing else will ever compare.
Good Glue
This glue is decent for its price two tubes and glue tips. However it is not the strongest when you are glueing wings and landing gear it is better to use super glue or liquid cement for that. The glue tips are nice and keep the glue from going everywhere and with some thinner or assitone it is easy to clean the tips. This glue is nice when your putting parts like the fusaloge or wing haves together because the glue squeezes out and fills any gaps so you just have to sand. I have enjoyed this glue it is cheap easy to use and is also strong.
A must have model cement that has been around for years
Bargain priced double pack of tube cement. Always use the clear thin plastic tip applicators so you see the cement coming out and to control the amount. I use a paper clip to clear the holes. This is good when you need a large amount of glue. I use this in conjunction with Tamiya as well. Will only chemically bond polystyrene to polystyrene so you must scrape off any paint or chrome plating to ensure a strong useful bond. Beware of spider webbing (long thin glue resembling a spider web strand) when it starts to thicken.
Cement Value Pack
This is plastic cement that comes in a tube, its bonding is better than non toxic glue. It is very thick, but the tube tends to flow out more glue than what is needed. The glue melts most plastic (except for ABS). Preferably, I would pit some on a cardboard piece and then apply the glue with a toothpick. The value pack allows for tips for new users. You also get more for your money ;). One disadvantage to these tubes is that the glue tends to overflow, and me as a rookie, always tend to pour more glue that I need.
Good if you need large amounts of glue
By: Tommy
Testors isn't known for being the best, but they are known for being a economical option. If I'm building something large, like a 1/350 ship or even a 1/200 ship, I would definitely use this in large quantities. However, don't use this in clearly visible areas, since it's pretty annoying to sand compared to Tamiya's cement. However do note that this POURS glue. Even gravity will cause it to release too much glue. I personally have a empty Tamiya glue bottle that I pour this stuff in.
Good stuff if used properly
Strong smell but bonds well when used properly. Limit your exposure time to the fumes if able. Need a good plastic to plastic connection for this stuff to essentially weld the plastic surfaces together. It's actually a solvent and not an adhesive. Won't work on an area with paint so make sure to scrape or sand the areas you plan to glue of any paint (or just don't paint that area until after bond is complete).

tried and true.
it's testor's glue. what can i say? been using it for over 40 year's. come's with glue tip's and that help's put the glue where you need it. i don't use it much, but there are time's when it's my go to. always keep a tube of it handy. you will find many uses for it around the house. every thing is made of plastic these days after all.
Fast drying.
When applying, move quickly because it drys fast. Also if you have to glue parts that have been painted, be aware and a bit conservative on the appropriate amount you need because it it will mess up the paint. The plastic tube that attaches to the bottle has a big opening which let's out a lot of glue which waist it.
Great product
Great value,two tubes & applicator tips for this price are too good to pass up. Make sure you're bonding plastic to plastic (scrape paint or chrome plating where you are applying glue). Put a small bead on a piece of paper or cardboard and use a toothpick for small or tight areas and you shpuld have no complaints.
Good product
I had used this glue for years until I found the Tamiya liquid cement. I will still use this when gluing large parts together such has the upper hull of tanks to the lower hull. The glue tends to run out of the tube on its own at times, and can cause too much glue to be in the area you want.
This is good model glue
I haven't been able to use this item yet, but I have used this type of glue for models in the past. This glue sets decently fast, but takes about 24 hours to dry. It sets up fast enough so that you don't have to hold it together with your hands too long or you can keep building your model.
Drys quick, bonds strong.
Very happy with this product. Easy to use, applicator nozzles very useful, sets in a short time. Although I do recommend you look into getting some extra nozzles as they are hard to clean and residual glue will clog up and make them no longer useful. Otherwise, an excellent product.
TESTOR GLUE
HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS GLUE, IT IS EASY TO WORK WITH AND ADHERES VERY WELL TO PLASTIC, PAINTING OVER IT WORKS WELL WITH ACRYLIC PAINT, AND SETS UP RATHER QUICKLY IN UNDER THREE MINUTES YOU CAN MOVE ON WITH OTHER PARTS AND SETS UP REAL GOOD OVER A FEW HOURS
Use it all the time
I have used this since the first model. This stuff does the job. However, it can get very runny (even with the precision tips) and causes a mess in the cap. Doesn't do good with the windows or rims. Otherwise love it and I'm not changing.
only cement i prefer
i only use this cement as others dont hold at all after just a few weeks. the oldest model i have is 12 years old it still holding just fine no matter the temp in room or how much the model is cleaned, highly recommended
A classic
I noticed I was running low on my glue. I use this particular glue for bigger seems and the like, as kind of a tack. It is always reliable and a must have, especially for new modelers. Highly recommended.
works great but a lot of waste
This stuff has been around for year. Simple squeeze tube. Still works great but tends to get VERY messy and wasteful. I switched to the triangular bottle for more accuracy and less waste.
Great Glue/Great Price
This is great glue. It's very cheap. It dries in decent time, and this set comes with two tubes and nozzles for thinner glue lines. An extremely cheap two in one deal here!
The best modeling adhesive I've used
Like the title says, this is the best model adhesive I've ever used. I've tried several different brands in my 25 years of modeling, and this stuff has never let me down.
Plastic Model Cement
I am just getting back into modeling after. Quite a few years was glad to see Testors still made the same cement I used back. In the day still. Holds. The. Way it use to.
Classic
By: kenc08
You can't go wrong with this cement. I used as a kid and I use now. Great for beginning modeler it gives extra time to set your part. It is a little smelly though.
The only glue I use
Ever since I started to do model this is the only glue that I ever used until someone tells me about a better glue I’ll use this type and brand
Good buy
I was surprised to find this at this price. Model glue is hard to find at retail model shops in my area. This is a great deal at a great price.
as been around for ever and still the best
this glue is the best for model kits and works on clean and painted parts as been around for a long time I have been useing for over 50 years
Good price
I like these twin packs of glue.. and a really good price.. I have a Hobby and craft store and I resell these for a very modest profit.
Still the best
I have been using Testor's tube glue for 60 years, and yes the formula has changed, but it is still the easiest glue to use and store.
Can't Recommend
Stopped using this when I discovered Tamiya extra thin. Archaic packaging, inconsistent dispersal, lines of glue from surface to tube.
testors cement value pack
testors has been around it seems for ever . the glue works well on models and the tips give you the choice of how much you put on .

It's the go to for beginners and hobbyists that doesn't like to spend big bucks on cement for plastic models.
value pack testors glue
This is great for model cars and trucks but the tubes sing to blow out fast and have a lot of air in them
Great for plastic models.
By: howard
Use the applicator nozzle, or drop a bit on a discardable piece of cardboard and apply with a tooth pick.
Glue
Best glue around better than the blue non toxic didn't smell like Tangerine's and give me a headaches
Great glue
Been using this since I was a kid, has its detractors, however I find this to be an excellent glue.
Old School Testors x2

Good cement, but...
Good cement for the price, but applicator is not that handy, not the best glue for precise work.
