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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Extra Thin Runs Where You Want It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInvisible Seams and Gap Filling\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eExtra 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo 40ml bottles for extended bench life and a ready backup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine metal applicator tip for precise, controlled flow into tight seams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow viscosity solvent formula that wicks in by capillary action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWelds polystyrene parts into one solid, unbreakable piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for seam removal, gap filling and structural styrene assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast flash off so parts set in minutes and cure firm overnight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandling and Workspace Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gunpla Depot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50097521393903,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/9695\/4351\/files\/7eac7741412b78e2e25f637016e5f035.png?v=1783081676","url":"https:\/\/gunpla-depot.com\/products\/tamiya-extra-thin-cement-fine-tip-40ml-2-pack","provider":"Gunpla Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
