h: ) Course that may be some less powerful stuff so Im probably wrong. Its also really good at getting your fingers stuck together

well I bought 3 glues
1. superglue (loctite) and yes I believe it is a CA
2. some sort of plastic bonding glue that I was told to use only on unpainted parts because it'll eat away paint (I'm using acrylic btw)
3. clear glue for windows.
The way I see it, superglue is going to be the glue I use the most because I would like to paint my parts before I glue them together.. the only exception is if say for the engine block, I put on all the like pieces then paint it as a whole..
Is this the right way to paint/glue?
