The Liquid Poly from model shops is methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), which melts polystyrene to permanently weld sections together.

Polystyrene Cement is MEK with some plastic dissolved in it. Both have their uses, but the Liquid Poly can be much neater when applied carefully.

Thanks, I have been using acrylics in the past and this is my first attempt at enamels, so I am looking into what is out there.

I have been using Testors paints and adhesives for plastics for years. On my layout for setting figures and structures I use E6000, It holds very tight but can be removed. Use a toothpick to apply in small areas.
