Another basic question.
What do you use for plastic buildings like Piko and Pola.
For outdoor use.

I havn't built a new kit in years but I am redoing some from over the years and I now use a product called liquid nails which is a construction adhesive and works very well as it seems to stay a bit flexible..................

The UHU stuff and pure MEK depending on what bits they are.

MEK or plastic weld then reinforce the joints from behind with no more nails waterproof.

Gorilla glue.

The normal glues tend to fall apart after a few years outside. I use the glue made for sticking plastic pipes together & then reinforce the joints with a hot glue gun.

Unfortunately I put the roof on the last building upside down & it has to stay like that. It doesn't notice but I know it's wrong!
