The highly accurate Revell 39600 CONTACTA PROFESSIONAL EXTRA THIN CEMENT is a high-quality solvent-based adhesive designed for plastic model construction. Crafted for modelers who value precision and durable bonds, this exceptionally thin model cement ensures reliable bonding of polystyrene parts.
Key Features of Revell Contacta Professional
Consistency and Bonding Mechanism: Due to its ultra-thin formula, Revell Contacta Professional cement automatically penetrates the smallest gaps between joined parts (known as capillary action). It melts both edges of the plastic, which, as it dries, form a uniform and incredibly strong chemical bond.
Precise Applicator: Featuring a fine brush applicator, it allows for precise cement application in hard-to-reach areas. The brush has an adjustable length, which is especially useful as the cement level in the container decreases, ensuring efficient use of the entire contents.
Clean Application: Should it accidentally drip onto the model's surface, the cement evaporates, leaving no traces or damage on the plastic, minimizing the risk of unsightly marks.
Economical: The 30ml bottle is highly economical and is sufficient for bonding numerous models, making it an excellent choice for any modeler.
Application and Compatibility
This specialized cement is primarily intended for bonding polystyrene parts, which form the basis of most plastic model kits. Its ability to melt plastic also makes it suitable for:
Bonding small photo-etched parts, where localized plastic melting is required to secure the detail.
Important note: Revell 39600 is not recommended for bonding large photo-etched parts or for butt joints where immediate and strong adhesion without material dissolution is required. In such cases, cyanoacrylate adhesives are recommended.
Precautions
The cement has an intense and irritating odor. It is recommended to use the product in a well-ventilated area.
