Tamiya 87038 Extra Thin Cement Glue Fine Tip 40ml

It's easy to apply, and the smell isn't too strong. It's saved me from several minor accidents with my model kits. It's a good quality glue, durable, and works quite well overall. I think it's an excellent product for the price. It doesn't leak.

So good. SO GOOD. Great value for great quality. Always happy with Tamiya products. As advertised bottle size that will last a good while, depending on how hobby-mad you are. The bond strength is phenomenal. I use it for WH40k and other hobby miniature making. It’s a bit whiffy so don’t breathe too much in (work in a well ventilated area if you can, or wear a mask for those late night “gotta finish my army before that game tomorrow” kind of session.) I may have got a bit lightheaded/headachy in times past. Mayhaps. I prefer to use this on plastic minis whenever I can because of the bond. Working time is much longer than superglue so you can move things around. If you mess up (frequently, if you’re like me) you have time to pull apart/correct before things solidify. Highly recommend.

Great ,fast acting glue for modeling. Very thin for easy application and strong holding power.

This is nothing like the "airplane glue" that I grew up with. It literally has the consistency of water. So thin in fact, that in some cases you can fit your parts together dry, and add the glue to the seam and it will seep into the joint. Slight disadvantage is that it can run onto your parts where you don't want it to be, but if you're going to paint your model (which is what I do) it's really not a problem. Don't expect this to replace the traditional glue, but its perfect for most modeling needs. It dries faster than the thick stuff, and holds really well.

After several years of being too busy I finally retired and returned to the world of model building. I was away for 3 decades so I was Amazed at the leap in quality, variety, and just plain fun offered today. The glues being used today are so superior to what they once were that it is hard to imagine what I did before. This is just one purchase of one type of glue but I can tell you the quality and ease of use is huge! On a related topic, all of Tamiyas products exceed my expectations from the variety of glue, tools for modelers, instructional materials and all their offerings. The quality and variety of their acrylic paint alone boggles my mind. There are other companies out there such as Vallejo, Ammo, and many others offering outstanding kits that this a golden age for modeling. I was lucky to have been around for the “olden days” of questionable scale details and tubes of thick gummy glue and highly viscous enamel that I can really appreciate the newer stuff. Great job with the glue- and everything else.

I love this stuff. I use it on my warhammer minis. I’ve also used Army Painter and Citadel brands of glue, i strongly prefer this one. The little brush is perfect for applying it. Only downside is when you get low, you may have to jiggle it occasionally to soak the tip since it doesn’t reach all the way down the bottle. But when you do run super low, you can always buy a new one and empty what’s left into the new bottle.

This glue arrived extremely well packaged and the top was so tight I had some difficulty opening it. While the smell is significant, it is not overpowering and similar to other glues that I have used. It is my perception that those who say this glue does not work are not using it correctly. While if you work extremely fast, you can put glue on both parts and then press them together. However, this is not how this glue was designed to be used. Dry fit the two parts together and then paint the glue on either side of the joint. The glue used capillary action to flow into the joint and dries fairly quickly. Any glue left on the surface...whether the back of front...will evaporate in a few minutes and leave no mark This is why it doesn't work as expected if it is placed on both sides of pieces yet to be pressed together. If you work at all slow, it simply evaporates and glues nothing. Frankly, it is amazing and leaves no residue or marring. If I can't get at the joint, I simply use more common plastic cement as I have for years, but this option is certainly attractive to me. Even some "How to" videos get it wrong. Be careful what you watch and follow correct directions and you will be very pleased with this product.

Super glue arrived with a small crack in the plastic cap. Some of the glue leaked into the box but the item remained intact. The company provided me a quick response and refund. This bottle is the perfect size to keep in your drawer or for building your miniatures. The tip to apply the glue is the perfect length allowing for ease of use and functionality when working on delicate items.
