Low-odour model cement for scale plastic work

This low-odour cement is formulated for joining plastic scale-model parts in RC projects. It provides a controlled bond on common model plastics and is suitable for hobby assembly, small repairs, seam clean-up and routine maintenance of model bodies and related components.

Application tips: dispense a small amount onto mating edges or seams, hold or clamp parts until the bond starts to set, and permit enough time for full cure before applying stress. The solvent action helps draw parts together and reduces the need for heavy filler on minor gaps.

Workshop suggestion: use this cement when fitting body mounts, securing trim pieces or repairing hairline cracks in plastic parts. If the substrate is unknown, test on a spare bit first and maintain good ventilation even with the reduced-odour formulation.

Avoid relying on it for polycarbonate lexan bodies and some speciality plastics; for those, use adhesives specified for lexan or run a small compatibility test first.
It works well for light permanent fixes, but for high-stress mounting points combine adhesive with mechanical fixing or reinforcement to ensure longevity.
Initial handling is possible after a few hours, but allow up to 24 hours for a full cure before painting or heavy sanding to avoid lifting or uneven finishes.
