In the animal domain we've got Bison (no cigar there)
Then there is Pattex, who apparently have this in their range :

Looks a lot like what you describe.
Will keep this in mind for when I have another difficult mini to glue  :D

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons,
for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

Zizi; the Pattex gel is the same stuff I always use. In fact, I use it almost exclusively (after several embarassing incidents with the runny stuff :D ).

It sets a bit slower than regular superglue, so you're required to hold the pieces a bit longer, but heat and moisture help to speed up the process. So breathing on it and holding it up under the desk lamp works a treat.

The slower setting speed allows for some last minute corrections too.

It is, however, more expensive than the regular glue, but I find it well worth it...
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...
Find a Way, or make one!

Yes, I use the gel glue too(no fan of the runny stuff either), but haven't used any rubberized CA gel before.

Ah, I see.

Well, I for one would be interested in trying out such rubberized glue as well. Should you come across some, please share the brand and name. After all, we're located not too far apart and most retail chains can be found in either country... :)

Bingo !


http://www.loctite-consument.be/nl/producten/secondelijmen/power-flex/power-flex-gel.html

€6,50-ish for a 3g tube.

Funny thing, Pattex and Loctite are both from Henkel, so I wonder if the Pattex UltraGel isn't the same stuff?
