Chematic EXRA THIN Glue / 10ml is a high-quality, fast-drying plastic model glue, offered in a convenient 10ml bottle. This specialized glue, manufactured by CHEMATIC, has been designed for modelers who value precision, efficiency, and durable bonds in their scale model building.
Characteristics and Key Features
Chematic EXRA THIN Glue stands out due to its specific technical properties, making it an indispensable tool in any modeler's workshop:
Low Viscosity (EXRA THIN): The glue's exceptionally thin, watery consistency allows for instant penetration into the smallest gaps and capillary joints. This is an ideal solution for bonding large surfaces as well as delicate, small details where precision is crucial. The glue naturally flows along the contact line of parts, minimizing the risk of excess glue.
Fast Drying: A short bonding time allows for efficient work and quick progression to the next stages of model construction, significantly accelerating the assembly process.
Strong and Durable Bond: The glue creates a strong and durable molecular bond with the plastic surface, ensuring the stability and integrity of the model's structure for a long time. The bonds are resilient and resistant to external factors.
Precise Application: Thanks to its fluidity and the often included brush in the cap or the option to use a pipette, the glue allows for extremely accurate dispensing, minimizing the risk of messes and damage to delicate details.
Does Not Damage Surfaces: When applied correctly, it does not cause distortions, cracks, or frosting on model surfaces, which is crucial for preserving the aesthetics of the final product.
Main Application
Chematic EXRA THIN Glue is dedicated for bonding parts made from polystyrene (PS), a plastic commonly used in the production of model kits. It is indispensable for building scale models in various scales and categories, such as:
Aircraft and Helicopter Models
Military Vehicle Models (tanks, armored personnel carriers, artillery)
Civilian Vehicle Models (cars, motorcycles)
Ship and Submarine Models
Miniatures and Dioramas
It performs excellently for bonding both main structural components and assembling small elements, such as photo-etched parts or resin parts (with an appropriate primer if the base material is polystyrene), where precision and a discreet bond are required.
Compatibility and Post-Processing Properties
Chematic EXRA THIN Glue is intended exclusively for polystyrene-based plastic. It is not recommended for use with other types of plastic, such as ABS, vinyl, or metal and resin (unless used as a capillary bonding agent with polystyrene). After complete drying, bonded surfaces can undergo further modeling processes, such as sanding, filling, priming, and painting, without risk of damaging the bond or negatively affecting paint adhesion. It is recommended to work in a well-ventilated area.
