FAQs

Is this glue safe for children to use?

While it is non-toxic, adult supervision is always recommended when children are working with model kits and adhesives.

Can I use this on resin figures?

No, this formula is designed specifically for plastics like styrene, polyester, butyrate, and ABS. Resin usually requires cyanoacrylate (super glue) or epoxy.

How do I remove excess glue from the model surface?

If the glue is still wet, you can wipe it away with a damp cloth or a cotton swab dipped in water.

Does it work on clear plastic parts?

Yes, it creates invisible glue lines, making it suitable for clear styrene components like aircraft canopies.

What is the best way to apply the glue for tiny parts?

Dispense a small amount onto a piece of scrap plastic or a palette, then use a micro-tip, needle, or fine-tipped brush to apply the glue.

Do I need to sand the plastic before gluing?

Sanding the bonding surfaces lightly can help increase the surface area and lead to a stronger bond, especially on smooth injection-molded parts.

Troubleshooting

Glue is taking too long to set.

The ambient temperature may be too low. Move your project to a warmer area or provide a heat source to accelerate the reaction.

The applicator tip is clogged.

Gently rinse the tip with warm water to dissolve any cured residue, then dry it thoroughly before replacing the cap.

Joints are not holding strongly.

Ensure that the plastic surfaces are clean and free of paint or mold release agents, as these prevent the glue from welding the plastic properly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Safe, non-toxic, and non-flammable formula
  • Easy to clean up with water
  • Anti-clog applicator tip for precision
  • Extended 8-10 second working time for adjustments
  • Minimal odour for indoor use

Cons

  • Bonding time fluctuates based on ambient temperature
  • Not intended for non-plastic materials like metal or resin
  • Requires proper surface preparation for optimal strength

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting your assembly, ensure all plastic parts are free of mold release agents, oils, or dust by wiping them down with a mild cleaner. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place to maintain the efficacy of the formula. After each use, ensure the anti-clog cap is replaced securely to prevent the liquid inside the tip from drying out. If you notice the tip beginning to accumulate residue, a quick rinse with warm water will keep the aperture clear for future projects. This glue is specifically formulated for hobby plastics such as styrene and ABS; it is not recommended for bonding wood, metal, or glass.
