Tamiya Extra Thin Liquid Cement Glue with Applicator Brush - 40ml Bottle - 87038

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.

I bought this to glue plastic models together, but at this point I’m convinced it could repair broken dreams too. The stuff is brilliant. Touch the brush to the seam and it magically disappears into the joint like it’s got a degree in engineering. No mess, no giant blobs of glue, just clean joins that make me look far more skilled than I actually am. Be warned though—this glue works so well you’ll spend more time admiring your perfectly glued model than actually finishing it. Five stars. The only thing it hasn’t managed to stick together is my willpower to stop buying more model kits.

The best liquid cement I've used for building miniatures. The adhesion is excellent, and the built-in brush applicator makes application precise and easy. I find this far better than Citadel's alternative. Would highly recommend for anyone building Warhammer or other plastic miniatures. Great value for money.

Great product for years now. I’ve always wondered why then never made longer bristles or change the bottle shape as you always struggle to get the very bottom.

The Tamiya Extra Thin Cement 40ml is widely renowned throughout the world as the best product for gluing together plastic model kits made from polystyrene plastic. The extra thin formula allows modelers to glue small pieces with pinpoint accuracy and finesse, thanks to the fine brush applicator included. This glue is perfect for creating seamless joins without any mess or bulky residue. Using this glue is definitely a learning curve, so make sure you don’t accidentally use it on the wrong material, like I did when I tried using it on the wrong material, let's just say it wasn't designed for anything other than plastic, and I ended up with an interesting, albeit unsuccessful, experiment. Lesson learned! The glue's capillary action lets it flow effortlessly between tightly matched parts, creating an almost invisible bond and setting faster than Tamiya's standard cement. It’s ideal for anyone looking to take their model building to the next level, offering precision, reliability, and a professional finish. Please note: this cement should be used in a well-ventilated area, and it is highly flammable, so avoid using it near any naked flames. Close the cap immediately and securely after use to prevent evaporation. Just remember to keep those fingers out of the way, and you'll be set for success!

Very thin liquid glue ideal for using capillary action for plastic construction models, sets quickly.

Tamiya Extra Thin Cement is hands down the best plastic glue I’ve used. The ultra-thin formula flows perfectly into seams and joints by capillary action, giving you super clean and precise bonds without any mess. The included applicator brush in the cap is small and accurate, which makes it easy to apply just the right amount, even in tight spots. It’s ideal for assembling scale models, Gundams, Warhammer kits, and anything polystyrene-based. It slightly melts the plastic to fuse pieces together, resulting in a strong bond that looks seamless once set. Dries quickly and doesn’t leave a glossy residue if you’re careful. If you're serious about model making, this is a must-have in your toolkit. Just remember — it's not a gap filler, it’s for precision bonding.

Best about so easy to use and very quick drying

Super cement for plastic, nice and sharp brush

Suempre perfecto

J'ai lu des commentaires comme quoi ça ne collait pas ou qu'il fallait tenir le modèle en place avec pression pendant des heures. Non. Si vous avez ce problème c'est que ce que vous essayez de coller n'est pas du plastique. Ce produit fait son travail, à savoir fusionner 2 morceaux de plastique ensemble. Ce n'est pas de la colle, donc si vous essayez de fixer quoique ce soit autre que du plastique, ça ne fonctionnera pas. En revanche, pour le plastique, c'est parfait. Ça colle les morceaux ensemble très vite, et c'est résistant. Des fois je me rends compte que je tiens tout le modèle par un tout petit morceau que je viens de fixer, et ça ne semble pas poser de problèmes.

Arrived a day ahead of the projected delivery date. My first time using the thin cement vs standard Testors cement. A real game-changer for those parts that take a lot of manipulation to get into place and just make a mess to put cement on first. Dry fit the parts, get them just right, and then the built in brush applicator is perfect to get a tiny bit of cement in just where you need it. I wish I had known about this 45 years ago (did it even exist then?).
