These adhesives are primarily used in plastic model construction. They work by disolving and and linking the polymers in the joint. They are useful for repairing broken plastic parts and construction of special projects. These adhesives are not useful on foams, wood or other materials. They are toxic and flammable and should only be used under adult supervision.
The thin cement flows smoothly between the gaps of the fitted parts by capillary action. The pointed applicator tip makes it easy to put the cement where desired.
Styrene plastic kits call for a cement that softens and welds the plastic rather than simply sticking to the surface, and this category focuses on those plastic-specific adhesives. The result is a joint that fuses the parts together for a strong, clean seam.
Thin and Liquid Cements
Tamiya Extra Thin Cement is a fast-drying liquid that wicks into a tight seam by capillary action, which suits parts that are already held in place. Testors Liquid Plastic Cement offers another liquid option for assembling styrene models.
For builders who prefer a value pack, Testors also offers a multi-tube cement pack for plastic models, handy when working through a larger kit or several projects at once. Matching the cement to how you build helps you get clean seams with less cleanup. A thin liquid also lets you assemble first and then run cement into the joint once the alignment looks right.
Look over the cements listed here and choose the type that fits how you like to build.
