Model Making Materials

Humbrol Precision poly 20ml

A solvent-based cement suitable for plastic model kits only. Its viscosity is low to enable precision delivery of fine amounts of cement.

• Melts some plastics to themselves
• Not always effective for joining different plastics
• Most effective on rigid styrene and ABS, will not work on PVC or polypropylene
• Ensure there is good contact between the two pieces to be joined: the solvent will melt the plastic so will not work if the edges are not touching.
• Thin applicator and high viscosity allows for precise application.
• Material should harden again in 10 – 20 minutes, but best left for an hour before putting under stress.

Caution needed:

• Highly flammable
• Potential damage to respiratory system – use in well-ventilated area only.
• Do not allow contact with the skin
• For use by adults only
