OK, this is one of those questions that, if put to a dozen wargamers, will get you somewhere north of 200 different answers, but here goes anyway.....

What, in your opinion, is the best superglue you have ever used. You may consider the following attributes:
- bond strength,
- speed of drying/curing,
- ease of application,
- longevity in the tube once opened,
- price/value for money.

Thanks.

And no, I don't need to know anything about matt varnish.

I'm asking that question NEXT week......

Loctite Super glue gel. Must be the gel

Won’t use any other.

Gorilla Gel superglue.
Good bonding and minor gap filling.
Curing time is not as quick as a liquid, but that's a swings and roundabouts thing.
The nozzle is good but clogs easily, I prefer to unscrew the lid and apply with a cocktail stick anyway so it's not an issue for me.
Much cheaper per ml than loctite but does have a shelf life so you may not use a whole bottle before it goes solid!

i agree with Paul. On everything. Also the cocktail stock applicator technique is the way to go. Its the only superglue where i've been able to use up the whole bottle.

I find that expands a bit too much for me? Or maybe I just had a bad batch

Loctite for me. So far so good.

I use this Super glue.
Used to sell it in Trago Mills for £1 but now I can only get it at Lawsons £2.50.
Never had any problems with it.
