      It does say on it 10 to 15 seconds ! Bob, :smiling2::smiling2::smiling2:

          I'm picturing John stoned out of his mind after sniffing every type of glue he stocks as a test :smiling5:

                John just come down from the ceiling (could see his house from there) said it smelled similar to tammy.

                Can not fault the service!

                  I love the smell of Tamiya extra thin.

                  Its nearly as good as UHU, from the 70's, almost a pear drops smell.

                  Its never been an issue for me, and I only have a stock of 7 spare bottles.

                  Sorry that wont help, but I do like Tamiya extra thin LOL

                  Hope you get it sorted, as most of the glues do have something of a smell or can have an headache effect

                  Regards

                  Steve H

                    Sorry was not thinking straight when I sent that message. Forgot your had mentioned plastic magic. Was in A&E at the time. Suspected kidney stone. Whilst the pain subsided fairly quickly I have to back tomorrow morning for a CT scan....

                    Good luck with your glue hunt.

                              I too like the smell of Tamiya Extra Thin...the other most memorable is the old Airfix tube glue. I find odorless solvents very misleading as I get nauseous not knowing I have an open bottle or can right under my nose. The smell I think acts as a warning just like gas which in its natural form is odorless and is artificially scented with an onion scent.

                              Cheers,
                              Richard

                                Good to hear its all clear with the scan.

                                I think I need a scan on my nose...liking the smell of solvents is not a good sign :smiling6:
