Way back in the 70s when I was a child member of the Revell Master Modelers Club, there was a tip in the 'Get it Together' periodical they sent out that listed the recipe as sprue + paint thinner. As I recall it just made the sprue a little more flexible, but nothing gooey or viscous came out of it. I wonder if, in addition to regular polystyrene cement as the solvent, we could use regular acetone as an adjunct? Any opinions?

What do you do with the spruce glue ?

its a liquid filler, made from the exact same stuff as the model kit so easy to sand flush and looks totally natural
