Build Adhesive

Post image

As I translated this photo online, this icon indicates "use adhesive" (in my case a two-part shoe cap) My question now: The kit is made of ABS, plastic cement won't work. Which kind of adhesive shoul i use?

Tamiya has abs plastic cement

Other than that, super glue is always an option

Just as a heads up, that Tamiya ABS stuff isn’t actually plastic cement. It’s regular glue. So it doesn’t melt the parts together and do a proper bond, and it’s particularly messy as well. No idea why Tamiya advertises it together with their regular cement since it isn’t one. Turns the product into a trap that catches borderline literally everybody that tries it
