Non-toxic Plastic Kit Cement Don't forget the cement to put together your plastic kits! It's non-toxic and made specifically for the plastic kits available here. #0006023
Price: $1.19
Webmasters Note: When I used the non-Toxic plastic cement, it would work almost as good as the toxic glues in the red label tube. However, after a couple of years, this type of cement doesn't give a proper, lasting bond that the toxic cement used.
You're better off going to Wal Mart
and getting the bottle with the RED Label, it will make a difference in the
long run. | ||
