Tamiya Extra Thin Cement Fine Tip 40ml 2 Pack

Tamiya Extra Thin Cement Fine Tip, Two Bottle Value Pack

This two bottle set of Tamiya Extra Thin Cement is the workhorse adhesive that lives on almost every serious model kit bench. Each 40ml bottle holds a fast flowing, solvent based cement engineered for polystyrene, the plastic that Gunpla, scale armor, aircraft and car kits are molded from. Instead of gluing parts together like a household adhesive, this liquid melts a razor thin layer of the styrene surface so the two halves fuse into a single piece of plastic. Once cured, a joint made this way is stronger than the surrounding runner and effectively permanent.

Why Extra Thin Runs Where You Want It

The whole idea behind an extra thin formula is capillary action. The cement is so low in viscosity that it wicks straight into a seam the moment the fine metal tip touches the edge of a closed panel line. You dry fit both halves first, clamp or pinch them shut, then run the brush along the join and watch the liquid disappear into the gap on its own. Because the solvent travels inside the seam rather than pooling on the surface, you avoid the smeared, frosted glue marks that ruin a clean build.

The fine tip cap included with this pack is the reason many builders keep it separate from their standard bottle. The slim synthetic brush carries just enough cement for one pass on tight edges, small pegs and delicate wing roots, giving you far more control than a fat applicator ever could.

Invisible Seams and Gap Filling

Extra Thin Cement is the foundation of the classic seam removal technique. Apply the liquid to both mating surfaces, press the halves together firmly until a fine bead of melted plastic squeezes out along the join, and let it sit. That melted ridge is your own filler, made from the kit plastic itself. After the cement fully hardens over a day, you sand the ridge flush and the seam simply vanishes, ready for paint or top coat. The same trick handles small gaps on weapon barrels, shields and backpack thrusters without needing a separate putty.

• Two 40ml bottles for extended bench life and a ready backup
• Fine metal applicator tip for precise, controlled flow into tight seams
• Low viscosity solvent formula that wicks in by capillary action
• Welds polystyrene parts into one solid, unbreakable piece
• Ideal for seam removal, gap filling and structural styrene assembly
• Fast flash off so parts set in minutes and cure firm overnight

Handling and Workspace Notes

Because the cement is thin and volatile, keep the bottle upright and the cap sealed between passes so the solvent does not evaporate. Work in a ventilated space and let each glued assembly rest undisturbed while the bond develops full strength. The narrow neck bottle resists tipping, and the two pack means you always have a fresh reserve when the first tip starts to fray from heavy use.

Whether you are closing a bare plastic Gunpla straight from the box or building a fully painted contest piece, this fine tip two pack gives you the precision and the supply to keep every joint tight, every seam clean and every project moving forward.
