Product overview
GSW Blue Cement Glue uses the same fast-drying welding action as the clear cement, but adds a blue tint so the applied path remains visible before the adhesive dries. That visibility helps when following tight seams, checking whether a joint has been covered and avoiding accidental flooding of nearby detail. Clean the mating surfaces, apply only where the parts meet, then press and hold them together while the softened plastic fuses.
- The blue tint identifies where cement has been applied before it dries.
- GSW states that the blue version retains the effectiveness and strength of the original transparent cement.
- Any excess should be removed promptly to avoid affecting nearby detail.
- The cement can soften plastic for texturing with a stiff brush, sponge or dry piece of sprue.
- Use it in a well-ventilated area because vapours are released during drying.
- It welds plastic faces that meet; an open gap or missing material still requires filler.
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.
