Good Morning,
I use Loc-Tite Ultra Gel for most of the Plastic and even smaller PE pieces in my Builds. As Herman noted, it is impact resistant (to which I can add Shear Resistant) and gives time for parts placement due to slightly slower setup. I also wanted to add a Product that I have seen Martys Matchbox Makeovers use to great success for repairing the type of cast metal we run across on these Builds. (Pot Metal, Chinesium, etc.) The product is from Muggy Weld. Low Temp Solder...Comes in rod form and is used with a Soldering Iron or Butane Torch. It is metal so it can be worked to shape easily afterwards. It seems that it would be perfect for repairing the metal Lower Hulls\Parts-Details or entire Tanks from Manufacturers like Taigen\Torro or MATO.
regards,
Painless

Haha it's interesting to count how many of them I have too. I have the BSI ca ones, JB Weld which now is my go to. I figure if I have to prop pieces to allow the ca to strengthen I might as well use something which after 24 hours will not be knocked off ever :D I use Permatex for my thread lock. I've never seen Zap. Obviously I have Elmers Glue but the one bottle with the red and white Mod label I have never seen and not sure what looks like a big jar of molasses is. Don't have the debonder but I have the 2 Tamiya Extra Thin cements which are mostly useless plus their standard plastic cement and their ABS cement, Shoe Goo, and the Airbrush Cleaner which I just use as thinner
