I'm getting ready to start on a couple of my own customs, and I wanted to make sure I'm using a glue that will stick. Rather than use superglue though, I thought I might try Plastic Cement. I mentioned this at another website I go to, and I was warned that certain plastic cements won't work on Star Wars minis because they're made from a different, softer kind of plastic. That gave me pause. So, has anyone here had good or bad luck using plastic cement on their Star Wars miniatures, and what brands were involved?
Thank you for your time!

 I, um, take it then that nobody has used plastic cement on SWMinis at all? Have you only used superglue? Does it seem to work all right then?

I use Krazyglue. It's usually fine, just not perfect when transporting converted minis or keeping them in a cold area.

I have found that Krazyglue dries a bit too quickly for me...not enough time to adjust the pieces that i'm gluing together to perfection. I don't know the brand, but the small bottle (yellow) with the red cap worked great for me...took a while to dry but gave me ample time to adjust the parts. I too, have an unused bottle of plastic cement. i believe it's used for hard plastic (i.e.: models like planes, boats, tanks, etc.) or metal.
