Adhesives

Plastic models for assembly are mostly made of polystyrene (mostly, because there are also models made of resin, for example), and glue for plastic models is actually glue for polystyrene. For some parts of the assembled model, other modeling glues are also needed, such as glue for transparent elements - for attaching transparent covers, windows, or headlights. Universal glues, cyanoacrylate (CA) glues are also used in modeling - for joining, for example, metal (or photo-etched) parts with plastic parts.

Most modeling glues for polystyrene melt the edges of the joined surfaces and thus bond them together permanently. Depending on the surface we need to glue, it is best to use thick glue for large surfaces and thin glue for smaller ones. Additionally, the thinner the glue, the shorter the bonding time. Glues, apart from their viscosity, also differ in the method of application. The longest available on the market are glues in regular tubes that require an additional applicator (e.g., a stick) for application. However, the most convenient glues for application are those with an integrated brush in the cap (e.g., Tamiya Cement or Mr. Hobby Cement), or glues with a needle (e.g., Revell Contacta). The choice between glue with a brush or with a needle depends on the individual preferences of the modeler and sometimes also on the availability of the surface to which the glue needs to be applied.

As the first glue for plastic models, we recommend Tamiya Extra Thin Cement (without Quick-Setting in the name). It is a thin glue that will probably remain in our modeling workshop forever. It is supplied in a 40ml bottle, which has a permanently attached brush for glue application to the cap.

In our modeling store, you can buy glues from various manufacturers, according to your needs. Both fast-drying glues for plastic models, such as Tamiya Extra Thin Cement Quick-Setting or Mr. Hobby Mr. Cement SP, as well as standard thick cements that take longer to dry. We also offer glues from Polish manufacturers, such as Chematic or Wamod. If you are looking for a store with glue for transparent elements or classic cyanoacrylate glue - you will also find it in our modeling store.
