I currently have a total of 48 plastic miniatures, which all are very easy to glue and paint. However, my Finecast, not so much. The paint easily comes of in little places and when I glue, the weight of the glued part pulls it off before it can dry. I know many had said before Finecast isn't good, but I already have some, so I have to deal with it.

What kind of glue did you use, and what did you prime the figures with before adding more paint?

I used the Citadel glue and Testors model glue, each with same results, and Citadel Chaos Black spray.

Your not using Plastic Glue are you? Because FineCast is not plastic so plastic glue doesn't work on them, Citadel or not. Citadel Super Glue tends to work perfectly with FC models.

Testors model glue is a polystyrene cement and meat for plastics! Your using the wrong type of glue mate. You need to be using super glue.
