Product overview

DSPIAE ETC-01 Extra Thin Cement is a quick drying solvent cement for conventional plastic kit parts such as polystyrene and ABS. DSPIAE says its extra fluidity lets it penetrate narrow seams fast, while quick drying and strong solvency give a firm bond without leaving visible marks on the part surface. The maker's AD77 formula is described as extra low fume and less volatile than traditional cements. The square 40 ml glass bottle is designed to resist spills and tipping, and a precision brush fixed to the blue cap is made for fine details.

  • Capacity: 40 ml
  • Shelf life: 48 months unopened; DSPIAE recommends using it up within 12 months of opening
  • Keep away from open flame (risk of fire) and keep air moving while you work
  • Made 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.
