Tamiya 87190 for Stronger Polycarbonate Body Shells

The Tamiya 87190 Polycarbonate Body Reinforcing Cement is designed to reinforce lexan and other polycarbonate body components. In combination with the Tamiya 54792 Reinforcing Mesh Tape it offers added support at mounting points and stressed panels.

Application and Product Details

This synthetic rubber cement is suitable for fixing separate polycarbonate parts like lamp housings. It is supplied in a 100ml aluminium tube and includes an applicator to aid precise application and tidy reinforcement.

Use Cases for Modellers

Whether repairing a raced shell or preparing a new body for use, this cement provides an effective way to strengthen joins and edges. Its compatibility with standard polycarbonate parts makes it a useful workshop item.

How long until the cement is safe to handle?

Initial set is fairly quick but allow several hours before handling. Complete curing can take longer depending on temperature and airflow.

Can I use it on clear polycarbonate parts without discolouring?

The cement is light gray and intended for areas where colour is acceptable. For fully transparent parts test a small area first to check appearance.

Will reinforcing mesh tape improve longevity?

Yes, applying Tamiya 54792 mesh tape with the cement at stress points helps distribute load and reduces the chance of cracks forming around mounts and edges.

Storage recommendations for the tube?

Store capped in a cool dry location. Avoid extreme heat and freezing. If the applicator clogs, clear gently before next use to maintain flow.
