Product overview
GSW Slow-Dry Cement Glue is the alignment-focused option for large parts and structures that need more time before final hardening. GSW gives a drying time of 5–10 minutes, depending on the amount applied, and says the pieces can be adjusted during the first few seconds; complete drying takes approximately one hour. The liquid softens the contacting surfaces so they fuse through the seam, leaving a joint that can then be sanded, cut or otherwise worked. The bottle label also lists methacrylate alongside the plastics shared with the other two cements.
- Its label prints polystyrene, ABS, PVC and methacrylate; the range's two fast-drying bottles print polystyrene, ABS and UPVC.
- Clean away dust and grease, use a moderate amount and hold the parts firmly together during the initial join.
- Once completely dry, GSW states that the joint can be sanded, cut or otherwise worked.
- A thin coat can soften plastic for texturing with a stiff brush, sponge or dry sprue.
- Use the cement in a well-ventilated area because vapours are released during the bonding process.
- The cement fuses contacting faces; where plastic is missing, the remaining 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.
