This is quite different stuff from their much better known contact adhesive (which comes in a tube).<br /><br />I've been using the UHU contact adhesive for decades on wood, plastic and metal. It's a very fine product and I've never had any issues with it.Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-84549157468951528482015-09-10T08:23:32.540+01:002015-09-10T08:23:32.540+01:00PVA, used sparingly, is definitely the stuff for p...PVA, used sparingly, is definitely the stuff for paper/card models!Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-26585622241624433112015-09-10T08:23:01.580+01:002015-09-10T08:23:01.580+01:00Thanks, Robert.
