I have never had a problem with Ambroid and will probably use it as long as I can get it. Buit I'll agree it's not for everybody. I do use it to make a fillet where the fin joins the body tube and if a fin has separated during landing it's usually a case of "the fin would have come off no matter what you glued it on with." If you know what I mean.

I've never had any luck with the super glues as the parts are usually too porous and they suck up all of the real thin glues.

In my area Tenax 7-R is about as scarce as Ambroid gets sometimes. I haven't seen it in a long time. I used to use it when I build plastic model cars but it seemed to evaporate too quickly and was so thin that it would run under your fingertips before you knew it and then you'd have a fingertip whorl branded into the plastic part.
