Model is not really a toy. when u r constructing a kit, u dont play with it instanstly. if u use cement the correct way, the bonding is much stronger than using super glue.

Industrial spray cans however also will be thicker than the tamiya/Mr.hobby spray cans.... to avoid thickness, depends how u spray, wat kind of brand u use.... i spray at least 10-15 cm away and left right like devil_x said... do not focus on one spot , thus it will not create a thick layer...
