been snooping around and looking for the strongers super glue ... fopr gluing white metal figure.. right now the strongers one i found is uhu super glue but that not 100% bond every time ... a little uncoinsisten .. so guy any one can help ?

Have you tried using Selley's Super Glue? They are the strongest so far or maybe you can try the 2-part epoxy glue which bonds really strong but smells terrible. One brand that manufactures epoxy glue is Araldite.

Bostik super glue also can use but its curing time little bit slow...

so anyone can post a picture of this famous UHU Super glue?
so far i only found that normal UHU glue in yellow tube only..

care to share?

that the one i use same as Selley's Super Glue no more no lest. so looks like i have to import some super glue then if i want some thing stronger ... ( don't like using epoxy glue take too much time and smell very bad ) .... can't remaber what they call it ...

If I read you correctly Revliss, the most suitable glue for white metal figures is actually 2-part epoxy glue for metal. Unless you are sticking really tiny white metal parts, most of the time superglues will not work and even then if you are going to handle these little pieces they may still drop off with superglue.

I'm currently using a brand called Durasteel. You should be able to bump into it at most DIY shops. Otherwise look out for other 2-part epoxy glues for metals. It has to be a 2-part epoxy glue at the very least.

Beach is correct,

Epoxy is the best to hold metal parts. Super glue's bonding characteristics depend on tensile strength meaning you can easily break away parts super glued by twisting but it's much more difficult if you try pulling them apart. Its got a shelf life too that becomes hard and brittle.

Also it's meant for delicate and small surface areas plus skin.

My answer will still same with Uncle Bum, use epoxy glue, try to find those fast dry type, ie 5 minutes Expoxy. I'm using the same brand as mentioned by Druid for white metal figure and even resin figures, so far so good, just the smell really cannot tahan. :D

Revliss,

If the metal parts to stick is big, Milliput epoxy helps. Though setting time is overnight it gives a firm bond that is sandable and paintable.

The tip is to mix both equal parts well, you may wait a bit for the putty to get tacky and apply to both parts of metal you wish to join with slight pressure and leave to set. Prewetting the broken parts with water or diluted well kneaded milliput slurry helps for intimate bonding.

ok and how about resin to plastic ??? ... milliput to sculpey (aka it brock off, that what i face most of the time.. small parts )

Revliss my friend,

I have been using Saley's Elephant SUPA glue with resin and some of my bondite sculpting without any problem.... They stick like rock!!

there's a lot of new gen super glue. I have not tried all but thee is now hard knock superlue, gel, etc.....one might be suitable

I hope it's not too off topic, but if it's a white metal figure you could always try pinning it. Which is basically inserting a small piece of metal between the the pieces to increase the strength of the joint.

I found a tutorial here.

ya i did pin most of the model i have ..
