THE SHORT VERSION

Mark Jones explains when plastic cement, superglue and PVA are appropriate, then demonstrates preparing joints for reliable assembly. Filed and keyed surfaces improve metal contact, and dry-fitting exposes poor joins before glue is applied. Repairs require removing old paint and glue rather than repeatedly attaching a broken arm to residue. Large parts may need pins, while a small surfactant addition helps PVA behave over broad basing areas.
