TAMIYA — CEMENT Extra Thin Cement (40ml) 40MLBRUSH-IN-CAPCAPILLARY ACTION // OVERVIEW // The most-recommended modelling cement in the hobby, and this store's best-selling product. The trick is the viscosity: it is thin enough to be pulled into a joint by capillary action, so you dry-fit the parts first, hold them together, then touch the brush to the seam and let the cement run down it. Nothing squeezes out and nothing needs cleaning up. It is not really a glue. The solvent melts a thin layer of each surface so the two fuse into one piece of plastic — which is why a properly cemented joint is stronger than the plastic around it, and why it only works on polystyrene. Working time is 5–10 minutes before you can move on to the next step, and a joint is fully cured after 24 hours. If you need a gap filled rather than a seam fused, this is the version to use — the Quick Setting variant sets too fast to flow into a gap. // SPECIFICATIONS // Product specifications Manufacturer Tamiya Type Liquid polystyrene cement Volume 40ml Applicator Brush in the cap Handling time 5–10 minutes Full cure 24 hours For use on Polystyrene plastic kits Item number 87038 // PAIRS WELL WITH // Extra Thin Cement Quick Setting 40ml - Tamiya — for fast tack-ups · Add to cart Basic Tool Set - Tamiya (currently out of stock) Basic Type Putty 32g - Tamiya — for the gaps cement will not close
