Hi I have a shed which will need reglueing what glur is the best? and could I have trade names please as I live out of town with only one "open all hours" thanks Les
 
That could depend on how bad the damage is
 
If it's a Pola or Piko building kit, then probably the Pola plastic cement would do the job - alternatively something like EMA Plastic Weld or Ambro Pro-Weld, both those are quite aggressive solvent cements that will stick most plastics including acrylic, butyrate and ABS.
 
Hi it is a Piko kit, I just think it needs reglueing , I have been on to Dragon but no piko glue on his list. Les
 
Carrs do an impressive array of solvents for gluing plastics.

Isopon P38 also works well

You could buy EMA plastic weld on line if no local model shops stock it.

Isopon P38 should be available from most motor shops, e.g. Halfords.
 
Do you have a radio-control model shop anywhere within reach? Places like that usually have stuff like the EMA or Ambro solvents or an equivalent.

Must admit I've adopted Ambroid Pro-Weld as my solvent-of-choice for plastic kits, plasticard etc., it's much more effective than the typical hobby stuff like Liquid Poly. I buy it from my local RC plane/car model shop.

Can't comment on whether or not it works with Piko G plastic kits, but most likely it will.
 
Maybe it sounds daft, but if it is a Pola kit then Pola cement is the best and a quick Google or a search of eBay wlll soon give you a result. N.B. Pola cement is only good for Pola Kits, if you use it on 'ordinary' plastic kits it falls apart... yes, I know why.
