Tamiya Extra-Thin Cement – 40ml

Achieve clean, precise joins when assembling plastic model kits with Tamiya Extra-Thin Cement. Its low-viscosity, water-like formula flows into narrow seams and small gaps by capillary action, making it ideal for bonding closely fitted polystyrene parts.

Simply position the components together, touch the applicator brush to the join and allow the cement to flow along the seam. The solvent-based formula softens the adjoining plastic surfaces, creating a strong welded bond as it dries.

The square 40ml glass bottle provides a stable base on the workbench, while the fine pointed brush built into the cap allows accurate application with minimal excess cement.
