87038 Extra Thin Cement Fine Tip Glue 40 ml

Super cement for plastic, nice and sharp brush

New and as described

I recently got back into the hobby after decades away, and this stuff is far, far better than anything I used before. Runs through seams well, dries quick and very strong.

I was really hopeful about this glue given all the positive reviews, but my experience was the complete opposite. This product does nothing. I tested it on multiple types of plastic, multiple times—no adhesion, no bonding, nothing. It’s like applying watered-down nail polish. To make matters worse, it’s non-refundable. If you get a bad bottle (like I did), you're stuck with it, and reaching the seller is nearly impossible. Honestly, cheaper glues work way better. This isn’t even glue—feels more like plain acetone. Buyer beware. Don’t be fooled by the hype.

Doesn’t work on most plastics

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.

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.

Tres bon produit et de bonne qualité
