Briathel Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Hey Everyone, The folks who work with minis that I know personally use two-part epoxy for gluing pieces together. Has anyone ever tried the Goop brand E-6000 craft adhesive? Any reviews would be appreciated. Briathel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 For gluing I love using Gorilla superglue (the one with the blue cap). It seems to take a bit of beating & such. RM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxden Racing Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I use Zap-a-gap, which seems to be working fairly well. The only problem I've had thus far [granted, I haven't thrown my minis across the room or anything] is that it's sopping wet, then it's brittle, then it sets. The 'brittle' window is small, but if you so much as adjust your grip during that window, it falls off and you have to start over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Bedlam Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Gorilla Glue brand superglue is good; it's nowhere near as brittle as regular cyanoacrylate, and seems more flexible, has more "give." But when it comes to anything that really requires pinning, I prefer two-part five minute epoxy. Never tried Goop, though. I never would have tried Gorilla Glue superglue, except I found regular Gorilla Glue so handy with bookbinding... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I do believe the blue cap Gorilla super glue has some rubber in it. Reason why it gives a little bit vs regular superglue. Anther nice thing I really like about Gorilla is the bottle tip doesn't gunk up vs other superglues I've used. I hate having to toss the bottle after few glues or have to chip away at the dried glue that has accumulated on it. No matter the brand I always have problems (ZaG is the worst for me, followed by Bob something glues you find in most hobby shops) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angorak Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Correct Haldir. Gorilla Glue contians an additive that is rubberish in nature allowing the bond to absorb a certain amount of stress. I have switched to using it exclusively in recent months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwyksilver Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Glad to hear the good reviews of Gorilla glue. I've been using Locktite and Zap a Gap, but snagged a bottle of Gorilla Glue to give it a go once my current bottle is done. I switched over from ZaG to Locktite because the bottles gave me better control over drops and clogged less than ZaG, plus it was much more readily available.
