TAMIYA87038 Extra Thin Cement Glue Fine Tip 40ml

After several years of being too busy I finally retired and returned to the world of model building. I was away for 3 decades so I was Amazed at the leap in quality, variety, and just plain fun offered today. The glues being used today are so superior to what they once were that it is hard to imagine what I did before. This is just one purchase of one type of glue but I can tell you the quality and ease of use is huge! On a related topic, all of Tamiyas products exceed my expectations from the variety of glue, tools for modelers, instructional materials and all their offerings. The quality and variety of their acrylic paint alone boggles my mind. There are other companies out there such as Vallejo, Ammo, and many others offering outstanding kits that this a golden age for modeling. I was lucky to have been around for the “olden days” of questionable scale details and tubes of thick gummy glue and highly viscous enamel that I can really appreciate the newer stuff. Great job with the glue- and everything else.

Much cleaner and neater than the gels that leave "strings" when applying the glue. Highly recommend this quality product from Tamiya!

The glue itself is great and easy to apply. Doesn't dry as fast as I hoped, but fast enough. You just have to hold it in place longer than super glue. Be sure to use in a highly ventilated area, and avoid any high heat or open flame.Turns out I might be allergic to it.

Super fast shipping

Perfect for erasing joint lines. Anything plastic it touches melts and solidifies, turning two pieces into one.

great glue works fine

ideal modeling glue, seals fast and holds well, very easy to apply !

With the myriad of plastic adhesives available to miniature painters, it took me trial-and-error and recommendations from more experienced people for me to finally try Tamiya Extra-Thin. I will admit, I was worried that it wouldn't work well with smaller models (the ones that are assembled from contact instead of by slotting together), but it worked very well, with the only difficulty being holding the small model parts firmly together while the cement sets. On normal sized models, this cement is a dream - getting into cracks without having to worry about over-application, while providing strong bonding in roughly 10-15 seconds.I will say that using such thin cement was more challenging with those models, so buyer beware, but the product itself works beautifully. The tiny brush applicator allows for exact placement of the cement, preventing ugly glue spots in undesired areas. From now on, I will sing the praises of Tamiya Extra-Thin to anyone and everyone who will listen, likely to the detriment of my inter-personal relationships. SO yes, I highly recommend Tamiya ET, and you should use this forever.(as other reviewers have mentioned, this product will not work on resin models, so make sure you know your model type before making this purchase)
