Product overview
AK Extra Thin Citrus Cement has the same capillary assembly characteristics as AK12002 Extra Thin Cement, with what AK describes as a mild citrus aroma. It is intended for general plastic-model assembly where the parts are mated first and the liquid is applied to the joint, allowing it to flow along the contact line. Its medium-to-fast behaviour is deliberately slower than the Quick type, giving the cement time to travel through the seam before the softened plastic forms the junction.
- The square bottle base is designed to resist rolling on the workbench.
- AK describes this as the Citrus version of AK12002 rather than a different bonding method.
- AK's guide documents using extra-thin cement to attach and soften thin plastic for simulated weld seams.
- A wooden toothpick can carry the cement into recesses after it has been applied along a joint.
- The cement requires meeting plastic surfaces; a physical gap or missing material still needs 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.
