SkipGear: Thank you! I can do without the regular paints, although there are a few colors I will miss. But that's the only plastic cement commonly available around here, except at outrageous prices. And, unfortunately, I don't have room for a gallon of the stuff. I still have half of the gallon of Elmer's white glue I bought 20 years ago. And, yes, the last time I looked, it was still good. That was probably a year ago.
Now might be a good time to turn you ALL onto Tamiya's excellent plastic cement.https://www.amazon.com/Tamiya-87038-Extra-Thin-Cement/dp/B000BMYWYC@chicken45 turned me onto it and it's a game changer.
TBH, Testors plastic glue seemed like it was less potent in later years too...but I liked that on occasion you could unglue something with it when you realized you didn't read the directions closely enough. How does Tamiya compare? The other plastic glue in my arsenal is Plastruct cement and that's so damn powerful it's not real useful for tiny parts like retainer valves and door hardware. It's great for laminating plastic sheets though!
