I have just dropped Ian a line for permission to bend the rules a bit as I have allowed the use of extra glue if I get the ok then you can use your usual stuff.b****y glue!
Stick with it Jim,(pun intended) this is how we all paid our dues in our teens, so why shouldn't you?! You've got a lot of dues to pay, starting so late in life, so you better just knuckle down and brace yourself for the gluey fingerprints on the canopy!Thanks Peter
The post was written tongue in cheek. I would have continued and somehow made it work. I actually think I would have had to use extra glue as the tube seemed to have a lot of empty space in it. Using Pete's very sensible idea of squeezing a bit of glue onto a palette would have wasted glue as well.
Thanks again Peter. The GB is great fun.

Sir.Hi all
I have discovered the thing I hate most!!!
Some say mankind's end will come from plague and pestilence. Some cite a catastrophic meteor strike or nuclear armegeddon. All wrong!! It will come from modellers being driven mad by trying to use Humbrol Poly Cement in the little yellow tube. Said modellers will loose all sense of reason after trying to use the stuff. Driven to despair by trying to stick plastic with it their frustration will send them over the edge and having emptied the contents of their drinks cabinet they will give up the hobby and take up something easier. Perhaps bomb disposal or lion taming
The stuff is HORRIBLE. It is thick, gloopy and just looking at it makes it go stringy. It is almost impossible to put a small amount along a join. It stays tacky for ages and worst of all it doesn't actual stick the bits together.
I shall persevere of course but if my Vampire ends up in the bin it will not be the paint, the brush, the lack of MicroSol or the kit itself it will be this b****y glue!

I have a slight feeling your not happy with the wonderful Airfix glue Jim.
I was trying to be as positive as possible regards Jim's situation, I thought I nearly got away with it......Gee whizz Colin...you're rubbing it in...painful Jim is shackled at the moment and tempted to chuck the brushes.
Cheers,
Richard
Now that does take me back more than a few years. It was probably full of a chemical which is banned all over the world now - happy days...if the glue smelt like the original Airfix glue
