Note: Highly flammable and requires careful handling in well-ventilated areas.

## Description

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

Review: The perfect glue for modelling, thin, but quick setting - I use this for tabletop wargame modelling, both figures and vehicles (Bolt Action, Warhammer sort of thing.) It's really a plastic cement so will only work with those sort of plastics. It won't glue resin or metal. For this task it's amazing though. It's really thin, very precise with the brush and grips faster than standard cements like Games workshops version which is really helpful when you are working with tiny miniatures and fiddly parts. You can get a piece in place, let it grip, make fine adjustments and then because the glue is so thin even drop more into any seam or joint by capillary action of you need/want to. Wouldn't use anything else. Only thing to be aware of is to keep the top on because it will evaporate and it does give of mild spirit type fumes, so may not be suitable for young children to use.
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!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Gold Standard for Plastic Model Building
*by A***7 on 22 April 2025*

Tamiya Extra Thin Cement is hands down the best plastic glue I’ve used. The ultra-thin formula flows perfectly into seams and joints by capillary action, giving you super clean and precise bonds without any mess. The included applicator brush in the cap is small and accurate, which makes it easy to apply just the right amount, even in tight spots. It’s ideal for assembling scale models, Gundams, Warhammer kits, and anything polystyrene-based. It slightly melts the plastic to fuse pieces together, resulting in a strong bond that looks seamless once set. Dries quickly and doesn’t leave a glossy residue if you’re careful. If you're serious about model making, this is a must-have in your toolkit. Just remember — it's not a gap filler, it’s for precision bonding.
