87038 Extra Thin Cement Glue Fine Tip 40ml

It's easy to apply, and the smell isn't too strong. It's saved me from several minor accidents with my model kits. It's a good quality glue, durable, and works quite well overall. I think it's an excellent product for the price. It doesn't leak.

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.

Tamiya by far is the best model cemented industry. I usually extra thin for doing small parts because it sets quickly and doesn't drip all over the project. I used many model cements over to many years of model building that I have and always rely on tamiya cement products.

This is nothing like the "airplane glue" that I grew up with. It literally has the consistency of water. So thin in fact, that in some cases you can fit your parts together dry, and add the glue to the seam and it will seep into the joint. Slight disadvantage is that it can run onto your parts where you don't want it to be, but if you're going to paint your model (which is what I do) it's really not a problem. Don't expect this to replace the traditional glue, but its perfect for most modeling needs. It dries faster than the thick stuff, and holds really well.

This tightly sealed container has a long shelf life, I've had a bottle of it sit for two years and still be good to use. Easy to use, put some on plastic piece and press against another piece. Reapply more to the joint with pressure to firmly affix the parts. There is enough in this bottle to assemble many miniatures, ~2k pts Warhammer 40k. Compared to the citadel brand this costs less and has more. Dries and cures quickly while still having a decent working time. Biggest con: The smell. The container when open will be pungent with the acetone scent. Use in a ventilated area and screw brush cap back on when not actively gluing to help with the smell. If the smell is a major deterrant for you look into a company that sells a straw applicator like Testors or Citadel. These will contain the smell much better but I have had difficulty with the glue flowing too quickly and being uncontrollable with these bottles.

Works as intended. It's easy to apply and holds firm. Used some of it to make "Sprue Goo" for my miniatures as well.

Great stuff. Still the leading cement for plastic kit model making.

This glue arrived extremely well packaged and the top was so tight I had some difficulty opening it. While the smell is significant, it is not overpowering and similar to other glues that I have used. It is my perception that those who say this glue does not work are not using it correctly. While if you work extremely fast, you can put glue on both parts and then press them together. However, this is not how this glue was designed to be used. Dry fit the two parts together and then paint the glue on either side of the joint. The glue used capillary action to flow into the joint and dries fairly quickly. Any glue left on the surface...whether the back of front...will evaporate in a few minutes and leave no mark This is why it doesn't work as expected if it is placed on both sides of pieces yet to be pressed together. If you work at all slow, it simply evaporates and glues nothing. Frankly, it is amazing and leaves no residue or marring. If I can't get at the joint, I simply use more common plastic cement as I have for years, but this option is certainly attractive to me. Even some "How to" videos get it wrong. Be careful what you watch and follow correct directions and you will be very pleased with this product.

Super cement for plastic, nice and sharp brush

Suempre perfecto

If you have been using Citadel plastic glue and are looking for something that offers more control and a cleaner finish then Tamiya Extra Thin is a total game changer. While Citadel glue is great for general assembly it can sometimes be a bit gloopy and hard to control. This Tamiya cement however is a fantastic alternative that takes your builds to the next level. The 40ml square bottle is incredibly stable on the desk and the fine applicator brush built into the cap makes those bulky plastic nozzles feel like a thing of the past. The real magic here is the ultra low viscosity and capillary action. Instead of applying a bead of glue and hoping it stays put you can dry fit your parts together first then touch the brush to the seam and watch as the glue instantly sucks into the joint. It works by slightly melting the plastic to create a welded bond that is incredibly strong. Because it is so thin it evaporates quickly which significantly reduces the risk of accidental fingerprints or messy overflow that can ruin fine detail. The final result is a much cleaner build with far less cleanup or sanding required. It is perfect for everything from delicate infantry models to large scale vehicles where you want seamless joins. For any hobbyist who wants professional results without the mess of thicker adhesives this is an essential upgrade for your workbench. It is a hobby staple that truly lives up to the hype.

Tres bon produit et de bonne qualité
