Does what it says on the bottle
Purchased this glue to do a specific job of gluing a smooth plastic sheet to wood, which required the plastic sheet to be bent over to form the roof of a 16mm railcar. Holding the plastic in place with clothes pegs I left it overnight to set. In the morning I took the pegs off and there was the roof, perfectly and strongly glued in place. I highly recommend this glue for such jobs. It's done a cracking job. You don't need much glue and it dries clear. Wipe off any excess before it dries.Read full review...

Perfect for card kits.
I had previously used UHU to build card kits for my model railway and was happy with the result. I would decant it into smaller bottles with a finer tip. Now I needed to build some smaller kits and needed an even narrower tip. I came across this glue online and it seemed to be what I needed. I can report that with the additional tip supplied it was EXACTLY what I wanted. I can now put the glue in exactly the right spot.
One word of warning however! With UHU, once you have stuck two surfaces together, you have a couple of minutes to move them around into place before the glue sets too much. You only get about 10 seconds with this stuff!
I would still totally recommend it however and have been really pleased with the kits I have completed.Read full review...

Perfect adhesive for modelling with card or light wood.
Perfect adhesive for modelling with card or light wood. It dries quickly, which means less attention needs to be paid to holding small parts together with your fingers, and forms a secure bond between surfaces to be joined. I've worked with card modelling all my life and have never known a better glue than this product. Spillages are easy to deal with and the glue dries to a transparent finish.Read full review...

Very Good but nozzle very prone to blocking
Good product,you only need very small quantities and it gives a very quick and strong bond also excellent for doing the glazing on Metcalfe kits,the only downside to this product is that the glue seems to set in the nozzle and in my experience have had to unblock the nozzle each time I wanted to use this productRead full review...

Sticks like ****
I have tries various adhesives for assembling card kits & structures, this is by far the best I have tried. It allows time to make positional adjustments, then with the application of pressure makes an instant bond.
Only a small quantity is needed so it is also economical. The only downside so far is that keeping the nozzle clean requires constant attention - this is a result of the adhesive being so effective.Read full review...

Perfect for model card buildings
Have now built several Metcalf model buildings over the last few years. I was recommended to try this product and I haven't been disappointed. The glue comes with a fine applicator (make sure it isn't missing - it should be attached to the outside of the bottle) so you can apply tiny amounts as required. It just gives long enough before drying to move the parts you are joining before it sets with immense strength. I wash the applicator in hot water after use.Read full review...

It sticks cardboard almost instantly
It certainly sticks cardboard almost instantly but still allowing for slight adjustment,
so much better than super glue.
Its only a small container, but it only takes a small amount when constructing small cardboard mock-ups, so will last for quite some time.
This will now be my go to glue for card modellingRead full review...

Ideal for sticking card model building kits.
Ideal for sticking card model building kits. Very quick acting so you need to be accurate! The thin spare nozzle would be ideal for getting into small spaces, but I cut it shorter to get additional control for my needs.Read full review...

Excellent.
It is a slow setting superglue and a fast setting PVA. Thus it has the advantages of both. Sets quickly with only a short time holding it together but gives you sufficient time to slide it into the correct place. Then holds very firmly.Read full review...

Easy to use and does what it says
This product is easy to use.
I do find that the spout is a little on the large side, especially if you accidentally cut too much of the plastic off, resulting in the cap not fitting properly.
