If I wasn't really impressed with this product, I wouldn't be taking the time to pass on what I have learned. I have been modeling for just over a year, learning the ropes and exercising diversification in the subject matter; n scale trains and layouts, plastic models, primarily military aircraft and equipment, plastic ships, and Balsa/Basswood RC airplane kits. In the process I have acquired a dozen or so glues of different functionalities but seems each has it's unique niche. I recently obtained a wooden, commercial ship and in it's initial construction I tried what I had and nothing worked satisfactorily enough to suit me...not a perfectionist, but picky. The ship is a square rigged sailing ship of the late 1800's era with lots of rigging consisting of sewing thread on the model. Couldn't get anything to work on attaching the rat lines to the rigging especially, allowing for a neat, realistic looking job that was workable. This glue was perfect for the little + joints where the thread crossed itself and other places where a fine point of viscous glue was needed. On that ship, attaching the rigging lines to the spars and masts looked initially to be a daunting task. Not so. A half turn of thread around the tip of the spar, a dab of this glue, a "clothes pin" for a weight on the free end to provide tension on the line while setting up, and wala..piece of cake. Last, I took ⅛" plexiglas and made a clear, dustproof,showcase for it (12x15x4") and this glue was perfect for strong, seamless joints that were almost impossible to detect. Last, for clear plastic parts on your plastic models it's perfect. Little dab will do and is clear, and dries clear, not attacking the plastic like the glue you use for assembly of the rest of the plastic model which is designed to melt the plastic and you don't want to be melting things like windshields and windows. It's also perfect for plastic landing gears, especially on 1/72 and 1/144 scale airplanes where the parts are small and a melting glue just destroys their inherent strength making them weak and difficult to support the weight of the model even after complete drying. The tiny tip is half the success story. Makes for some really detailed work. The $3 tube goes a long way. I finished the ship and the case and did some sideline work on other models and had about ¼ of my first tube remaining.Read full review

I bought the glue to replace a crystal in an old pocket watch. I have ony used it once and just a small amount but it worked as described. It was easy to apply with the small tip and getting the right amount in the right place was no problem. It dried clear. And the crystal has been in place for about a month now and shows no sign of comming loose. Very happy with the product. If you need a good glue for small projects such as this I reccomend it.

After wasting money trying multiple brands of "fabric glue" to use for application of flatback swarovski stones on fabric I discovered GS Hypo Cement. It is the only glue I have found that will adhere and actually keep the stones from falling off the fabric. My only complaint is the packaging, every single tube I have used ends up getting holes in the body leaking all over the place wasting glue. Something other than a metal tube would fix this. I would also like to be able to despense more glue as needed having an option to remove the applicator. Other than that I highly recommend this glue!

If you like to play with old watches, you will from time to time have to replace a crystal. Having the right adhesive is key to success & GS Hypo Cement is the right stuff for the job. I have tried other adhesives with varying degrees of success, but none come close to this product. The glue's nozzle allows precise control for clean application, the product has a rapid cure to handling strength & the watch will be ready for use the next day. I was even able to use it to glue a dial that had lost it's feet onto a Waltham Model 83 & the repair was strong and invisible. A essential for all watch hobbyists.
