Tamiya 87038 Extra Thin Cement, 40ml

Product Information

The difference comes from those like Tamiya S, revel contacta, that work as solvents, dissolve The surfaces which are welded together as the solvent evaporates.

This glue is especially handy when securing the body of a model car to the 'bucket'/ engine compartment of the kit. My only complaint about this stuff, is that the cap is too smooth and it is hard to get a grip when opening and closing. I can’t really say how it compares to actual Tamiya Extra Thin because I only ever bought one bottle of that, which I then proceeded to re-fill as per the above, but as far as I can tell it behaves exactly the same.That turned out to have easy answers too, and I therefore decided to purchase a 100 ml bottle of each, plus a 10 ml pipette to more easily measure them Each of the bottles was under €3, so if this works as intended, I spent less than €6 for 200 ml while a bottle of Tamiya extra thin cement is around €7 for 40 ml.

Allow 2 days drying time for the cement to dry hard before sanding and cleaning up the joints – see the video for more on this. But nowadays many companies dealing in the plastic scale modeling business have brought their own versions of extra thin cement.To enjoy all that Hobbycraft has to offer, please enable cookies or check whether another programme is blocking them. This EXTRA THIN formula cement is used to glue together plastic model kits that use polystyrene plastic.

And it means I’ll have a supply of it any time, instead of having to pause building a model because the glue has run out.It is also recommended that you are sure of your parts attachment and fit when using this faster setting glue. Of course, it is not always possible to do it this way but the method works fine for fuselage halves which are sometimes prone to this problem.
