I'm a bit of a snob about superglue.
While many people boast about using something from the local market that costs tuppence-ha'penny a gallon, I've always preferred to use "proper" modelling glues. Ideally, Zap Green, which I've always found to work really well, sticking quickly, and filling little gaps
Once you open glue, it starts to go off, and when I started a project for Garden Rail that needed superglue, I quickly discovered the bottle of Zap on the shelf had gone off. It was stringy, and the joins really weren't setting.
Now, I think I have some spare in storage, but decided that as I needed to nip out to the local shops, I'd see what The Range had in stock.
I picked up a few candidates, including, for a just over a pound each, their own brand stuff. "How bad can it be?" I reasoned.
Actually, it does the job very well. 10 second stick is promised, and that seems to be delivered.
Best of all, there is a brushable glue, handy for lots of jobs, and rarer than it should be. Even Zap don't seem to make it any more, which is a real pity.
Am I converted? Not quite, but perhaps I'm now less of a snob.
