Product overview
GSW Cement Glue for Plastics is the clear, fast-drying option in the range, intended for model parts whose mating faces already meet cleanly. The liquid softens the contact surfaces so they fuse across the seam rather than being held by a separate adhesive layer. Clean away dirt or grease, lightly roughen the surfaces if needed, apply precisely, then press and hold the parts together while the joint develops. It suits routine plastic assembly where a visible tint is not required and faster drying is preferred.
- Surfaces should be clean and free from grease; GSW also recommends lightly roughening them before assembly.
- Excess cement should be removed immediately to protect surrounding detail.
- GSW documents using a thin coat to soften plastic before stippling it with a stiff brush, dabbing it with a sponge or pressing it with dry sprue to create textured surfaces.
- Use the cement in a well-ventilated area because vapours are released during the process.
- A solvent weld joins plastic faces that already meet; where material is missing, the gap 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.
