I quite like this item for a rapid joint, it evaporates as you look at it.
Always keep the top on tight or its gone.
I must make some sort of support for the base, I usually knock the bottle over, as I rush to get the parts aligned correctly.
It make a real mess of your cutting mat as well. (see photo)

Hi Zak,
I use an old aerosol spray can top, from the large type such as Halfords Grey Primer.
I find that my Alclad II and Microsol/set bottles fit in the centre resecpticle tightly but are less prone to knock over.
Possible soloution?

You might have to scratch-build something eh? At your speed, it'l probably take 94 seconds.
Oh, that's a bit slow isn't it.
Cheek!
have you build it yet??
Have you thought of super-gluing the bottle to an old kitchen tile, or even a large brick.
Thank you for that really useful suggestion Tony.
What about missing out the Tile and Brick, and just go for the Worktop!

Now we are getting somewhere.

I'm full of bright ideas, finding the ones that work is the hard bit!
As names can sometimes be misleading, is it also good for "welding" other materials together? I'm thinking card/paper/diorama materials etc. And does it dry 'invisibly'?
I'm a fan of Mr Cement as it just needs applying to a joint and makes its own way along it, though it takes a few seconds to grab and a minute or so to dry but it leaves no trace of itself on the surface.

It is a plastic solvent.
EMA we used to use it at school ( that was when I was teaching not in the days of Queen Victoria when I was at school as a pupil ) it was excellent stuff - so were did you get it now and how much. Yes I agree if the top is not very very very tight its gone ( about as tight as a club treasurer should be OK, I think )
From my favourite model shop, yes Mr Cropper actually does stock it, not sure of the price.
Thanks Zak will get some next time I am in Brid.
so will I.
long trip for a bottle of glue
He may be coming to our show?
So a little bird told me.
check out the next newsletter!!!!
If he visits can we insult him like we insult Wizzel ?
please, please, please!!!
Considering how little you've seen of Kiteman, the insults will have to be of a much higher standard than you're used to providing for me.
That can be arranged !!!!
