Humbrol AE4021 12ml Poly Cement Tube - Clear quick dry plastic glue for model making

Product Information

A solvent-based cement suitable for plastic model kits only. The product is a low viscosity version of Humbrol Poly Cement to enable application by brush. Substrate Surface dry in 10-20 minutes. Fully dry in 1 hour. Drying times will vary according to ambient temperature and humidity. How to clean: Clean your plastic surface. Before gluing, always wash plastic with soap, use a specialized plastic cleaner, or soak the plastic in isopropyl alcohol to clean. Dry thoroughly. Avoid touching the plastic with bare hands to minimize oil residue. Get precise. For precise, detailed plastic glue application, use a small paintbrush or the tip of a needle.

Mix components if required. Two-part epoxies or adhesives are durable, but they need some preparations. Read your product’s instructions carefully for blend ratios. Mix as directed to activate the adhesive. Sand the surface. To create a rough surface for the glue to bond to, sand the plastic with 120 to 200 grit sandpaper. Steel wool or emery cloth will also work, but remember it only needs to be rubbed briefly. To make your life easier, the Loctite two-part plastic bonding system has an activator that helps roughen the surface.

The product works by melting the plastic on application and 'welding' two glued pieces of plastic together to form a strong bond. Coverage
