Revell Contacta Liquid Glue with Professional Needle Applicator

Product Information

The bi-component glue contains a pasty epoxy resin. You need to mix it with a hardener (volume 1 for 1). It is ideal for fixing plaster kits. This is an excellent product to use for plastic miniature model building, but is not very effective when used on other types of materials.

The glue can be used to glue canopies of aircraft models or windscreens of car models without fear of them getting damaged. If you accidentally put the glue where you don’t want it, just wipe it off with a moistened q-tip. The glue is waterproof when cured. For example, a bit of isopropyl alcohol can be used to remove the cured glue.

Always make sure that the surfaces you are going to bond are clean, as dirt or grease will prevent the parts from bonding successfully. In case you have an unfortunate spill, make sure that you cover the underlying surface with a drop cloth, mat, or plastic sheeting to avoid unnecessary clean-up afterward. It is also advisable to have some paper towels nearby to clean up any spilled glue immediately. Revell makes plastic models available in a wide variety of combinations of classic, replica or fictional models. All you can learn about the Revell brand Who is the manufacturer Revell?

You need to keep the scope of your project in mind, as this will dictate what quality glue you should buy. Usually, when the strength of the glue increases, so does the price, as higher quality glue can be used for more specific purposes. This does not mean that if you are busy with a simple project, you should buy lower-quality glue. However, if your project is more complex and the parts cost a lot more money, then you need to buy high-quality glue.The Revell star wars model is the most fashionable when it comes to the brand's spaceship models. This achievement recalls the unprecedented moments of the world-famous saga. Thus, it is possible to relive Star Wars and its various episodes through the replicas faithful to revell's originals. Special features:

• With plastic welding effect
• Liquid consistency of the adhesive
• Needle-fine needle for pinpoint bonding
• Suitable for bonding small parts
• Subsequent adhesive application possible

  CA glues can also be used as a filler instead of a filling putty. Just keep in mind that fully cured super glue is a much harder material than the polystyrene plastic used to make model kits. Therefore, it’s a good idea to start sanding the filled spot before the glue is fully cured. This is an ideal glue to use for bonding plastic to plastic and is great for miniature model airplane building, particularly when you need to glue clear plastic canopies to the fuselage. The glue will dry clear and will in no way alter or deform the plastic. It will also leave no visual defects behind that will show on the canopy. The glue is easy to apply, and although the bond is not super strong, it will do the job perfectly. Precise bonding: The needle-fine needle enables extremely precise application of the adhesive, so that even the smallest details and clear part edges can be glued precisely.

This plastic cement has a very fast drying time and can cure within a minute, making it ideal for use on your plastic model building project. If you are a model-building enthusiast, you will know how important this is as you are often required to hold the parts you are gluing in your hands until they are set. Once it is cured, the glue provides strong and durable results. Be sure to take some soap and water and wash the parts of your plastic model before you glue them, as a clean surface will give you a stronger bond. If there is any oil from your fingers or dust left on the parts, this will automatically weaken the bond. When working with resin pieces, make use of an ultrasonic cleaner to speed up the cleaning process, giving the surface a stronger bond. Now let’s have a look at the best glues for plastic kits. Tamiya Extra Thin Cement– Overall Best Plastic Glue When working with plastic cement, make sure the room you are in is properly ventilated. Plastic cement fumes can irritate your lungs and cause bad headaches. Some people can also have allergic reactions. This is also true for all super glues.

Now comes the cleaning up process, where it is always easier to remove the excess glue from your model before it sets. This can be done with some warm, soapy water. When using superglue or epoxy resin, you need to use a solvent-based chemical to remove the excess glue. You need to take extra care when doing this, however, as solvents can react with the plastic and deform or even melt the plastic. Plastic model glue adopts a liquid form and has a slow drying time. It therefore makes it possible to position the parts without haste. Generally, it is applied with a fine brush or with a thin needle that you will find on its bottle. It melts the plastic slightly. Thus, the two pieces weld together. To join two pieces of plastic, you can use for example one: Revell model glue; Tamiya model glue; Etc.

Superglue is the glue used by most plastic model builders, but not all superglues are compatible with plastic, so you need to read the instructions carefully. For a very strong bond, solvent glue is the best choice as it melts the plastic, forming a very secure bond.Before you start applying the glue, it is strongly recommended that you first “dry fit” the applicable parts to make sure that they fit together properly without leaving any seams or gaps. If you do find some parts leaving a gap or seam, you still have time to take some sandpaper and remove some of the material until it fits together perfectly. If you still find some small gaps after you have glued the parts together, you can use a gap filler to close the gap and smooth out any imperfections. The drying time is the time it takes for the glue to harden with enough strength to hold the parts you have joined together. This time can vary from glue to glue according to its formulation. Some of the glues like superglue, for instance, can harden within seconds, while others may take a longer time to set properly. This aspect is important and depends on the type of miniature model you are building as well as the type of material it is made from. The cement should not be used to flood the plastic parts because it will take ages for them completely dry. For example, if you use too much glue to join the fuselage halves of an aircraft kit, you will often have to wait days before you can start sanding down the joint. If you start sanding and paining too soon a small ridge-like depression may form at the location of the joint. This is often called a ghost seam line. Plastic welding effect: The special formulation of the adhesive dissolves the plastic and firmly bonds the parts together, guaranteeing a very stable and durable connection.
