| Just to start you off.
If you use a fair amount of Plastiweld.
Go to a builder merchants and buy Polypipe plastic pipe cleaner, used to clean guttering bits prior to bonding together.
Works out a lot less than Plastiweld. The last one I bought was just over £4 and had enough in it to fill about four Plastiweld bottles. It smells a bit different (not recommended) but does exactly the same job.
Drop a bit of the same coloured sprue from the kit you are making (in a separate jar) into a bit of the liquid (let it dissolve overnight) to make a glue or filler that matches the colour of the bits you are sticking together.
If you are into model boats or something where you need a very strong bond between almost any materials, like wood to f/glass or abs (styrene) you can't go far wrong with a german made glue called Stabilit Express. Fairly expensive, a mix of powder and a resin from a tube, but I have models made with this over 20 years old and the joints are rock solid, just make sure to do a chemi clean first. Be wary though, only about 10 minutes use time and almost full strength not much longer away.
