Tamiya 87211 Starter Cement and Primer Pair for PP/PE/POM/EVA  [87211]

Practical adhesion solution: Tamiya 87211 cement and primer

The Tamiya 87211 pack is made for modellers facing difficult plastics such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyacetal (POM) and EVA. It ships with a 3g primer and a 3g CA cement to help improve bonding performance on these materials.

Procedure for best bonding

Apply a thin coat of primer to the non-styrene component and leave it to dry fully. Then apply the CA cement to one mating surface and join the parts. This method increases the chance of a secure bond, especially when connecting these speciality plastics to normal styrene parts.

Common model uses and compatibility

Typical applications include:

• Polypropylene (PP): Frequently used for Mini 4WD wheels and low-cost body parts.
• Polyethylene (PE): Found in poly caps and some educational kit wheels.
• Polyacetal (POM): Employed for tough chassis components and sliding fittings.
• EVA: Used in a number of soft track systems and protective foam parts.
