    Ok guys,

    I need a glue for Avatar of war models, I have tried my GW plastic glue but it has very little hold as it is not for pvc, I have on order some Revell liquid cement but again I don't think this will glue pvc, could be wrong.

    Anybody know of a good pvc glue?

    Hot Glue is the only thing I found that remotely worked,
    I'm sure the has got to be something better though...

    You will probably need a two step process of a primer and a pvc cement. You do with pvc pipes anyway. Other than that you could melt another pvc plastic, apply like glue and sand it down after

    Hmmm I've googled and it says superglue but I always find that a poor bond.

    You would think that manufacturers would have a recommended glue wouldn't you!

    Unfortunately all my pvc experience is with plumbing! So may not be the right strain of pvc anyway!

    Yup.

    And there is a specific type that works incredibly well for "Bonesium" as they have nick-named it.

    THE glue for Reaper Bones is:

    This ^^

    Accept no substitute. LOCTITE makes about 100 different superglues. But this particular formulation works amazingly well. I have samples and I have used it many times to convert Bones models.

    If these PVC models Crowsfoot has are a similar plastic formulation...LOCTITE professional liquid it is.

    I don't have any AoW figs to test on, though.
