Product overview

ETC-02 Slow Curing Cement is the slower partner to DSPIAE's ETC-01 Extra Thin Cement. DSPIAE gives it a working time of 15–30 seconds to position and correct parts, and recommends it for bonding large surfaces as well as point-to-point joints on small plastic parts. According to the maker, its solubility and mechanical strength are much higher than those of extra thin cements, giving larger models more structural rigidity. Its main composition is organic solvent and resin. It comes in the same square glass bottle, here with an orange cap and a brush beneath it.

  • Volume: 40 ml
  • Lasts 48 months sealed; best finished within a year once opened
  • For conventional plastics such as ABS and polystyrene
  • Fire risk: no naked flames near the bottle, and ventilate the room
  • Manufactured in China

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.
