Product overview
BP-01 is a black gap-filling cyanoacrylate for filling, cementing and repairing small gaps and cavities on plastic: seams, short shots and sink marks. There is no mixing. Apply it straight onto the mating surface or into the gap with a fine tool, let it cure, then sand it flush. The black gives a high contrast against the plastic, so small fitting flaws are easier to spot. It is the thicker of DSPIAE's two gap fillers and does not settle in the bottle. Curing can be sped up with DSPIAE's BP-A accelerator, which is not included; after using it, allow a further 2 minutes before sanding.
- 20 g bottle with three glue applicators
- Shelf life 6 months; keep the cap tight once opened
- For lighter plastics there is the white BP-02, which runs less
Notes · Q & A
When do I use plastic cement instead of super glue?
Use plastic cement on polystyrene kits — it melts the surfaces and welds them into one piece, which is stronger than any surface bond. Use super glue for resin, metal, and gluing dissimilar materials that cement can't chemically fuse.
What's the difference between thin and thick plastic cement?
Thin, capillary cement is watered into an already-fitted seam and flows along it by wicking. Thick cement is brushed on before assembly and gives a little working time to position parts. Many modellers keep both for different jobs.
How do I stop super glue frosting clear parts and detail?
CA fumes leave a white haze on nearby surfaces, so keep it well away from canopies and lenses. Use PVA or a specialist canopy glue for clear parts, and let CA cure with airflow rather than trapped in an enclosed space.
What does a super glue activator actually do?
Activator cures CA on contact, useful for gap-free instant bonds or setting a part you can't clamp. The trade-off is a more brittle joint and possible frosting, so use it sparingly rather than on every join.
