Does any one still use this stuff for sealing their plastic spherical shells ?
I've been checking out the model kit suppliers but can't find anything of the like.

Xylene is usually used in the US. It's similar to methylene chloride in the respect of molding shells together.
"This salt, formerly called hyperoxymuriate of potassa, is
used for sundry preparations, and especially for experimental
fire-works."

Methylene chloride is still available from lab suppliers.
However there is a much easier and quicker way to glue shells together. Just get the glue for solvent weld piping from B&Q (other superstores do not all sell it). It glues and sets far faster, 30 minutes and they are ready to fire unlike the other methods that can take 24 hours to fully set.

Phew that was close.

Also solvent weld will be available in any plumbers merchants or building suppliers.
