get it, I know that I used to use it for wargamming miniatures, and it's a lot
like "Super Glue", but better. I was able to find it at both gaming places,
and I think hardware stores (I think I last found some about 3-4 years ago).
The stuff is far better than Testor's ever was.
 
 Something else that you can do with Superglue is to use a piece of Kleenex
to strengthen the piece in question (unless it's to close of a fit to other
stuff).
 
 One thing to be sure and do if possible is test any glue on a piece of the
same type of material that you don't care about.

zap-a-gap is cryanocrylate glue, used for building RC planes. It's a thicker
version so it sets up slower and can be used where parts are not a perfect
fit. The thin version sets fast, but cannot accomodate cracks in fitment. Hobby
shops sell various types including an accelerator spray that will make any cryo
glue set and harden immediately. ah, memories of that smell!
