Tamiya 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.

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.

This product is some of the best glue you’re gonna buy in the market today for model kit building but keep in mind. It’s not like superglue and you have to make sure that it goes on raw plastic. If your plastic is painted over, it won’t melt the paint and it won’t stick. What you do you brush it on you hold it together you push it and it melts the plastic and actually seal the sea as well. But for fine scale modeling and I highly recommend this. Read the instructions on what plastics they use it for and you can’t go wrong.
