## Description

Product Description Tamiya cement Safety Warning Note: For domestic use only

Review: The Gold Standard and a Fantastic Step Up From Citadel - 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.
Review: Model Building Magic, Handle With Care! - 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!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work on a plastic glasses frame ?**
A: No. This glue works by melting the mating surfaces of polystyrene (soft) plastics. The plastic of glasses frames is much harder and denser and will not melt under Tamiya cement. I would recommend low viscosity cyanoacrylate (super glue).

**Q: will this glue bond small painted parts well on a pvc model?**
A: No, it can only glue together plastic model kits that use polystyrene plastic.

**Q: Does this work on perspex?**
A: It’s for polystyrene- it melts the plastic.  Perspex is not polystyrene- best to use a super glue.

**Q: I am using this product for the first time always used revel contacta  is it only good for large parts or can be used for small delicate parts**
A: Use for ALL parts with confidence. Like you, I used to use 'contacta' too. Tamiya Extra-Thin is so much superior in every way. It actually 'welds' the seperate parts together by melting a micro-thin film of plastic on the two pieces in contact (rather than having a layer of glue BETWEEN them which simply sets hard-'ish!). It is much less messy and (being thin) has the fantastic capability to 'run' along joint/panel lines etc by capiliary action. The final joints made with this stuff are far, far firmer than your normal glues. Don't hesitate to use this stuff - you'll never go back to using the old stuff!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great for warhammer
*by J***. on 16 January 2026*

amazing glue for warhammer as it fuses the plastic together into a really strong bond, thin so it can wick into small gaps. built a tyranid combat patrol with it and it's barely made a dent in how much is in the bottle so this will last forever. Seeing that it melts the plastic to form the bond it's also great at filling in tiny gaps left between parts, just put a little on the crease and work the brush over the gap and the plastic slightly liquifies and fills the gap.
