Tamiya Cement with Brush 40ml - 87003

Tamiya's classic liquid poly cement (87003) — the brush-in-cap glue most modellers reach for first, and a different beast from Tamiya's thinner "Extra Thin" cement. Rather than sitting on the plastic's surface, it melts the styrene together — solvent welding, not sticking — so the join becomes genuinely part of the model. The integrated brush lets you lay down exactly the amount you need, right on the seam.

Why it's good

• Bonds polystyrene and ABS quickly and cleanly
• 1–2 minutes of working time gives you a chance to line parts up before it grabs
• Fully cures in around 24 hours for a strong, permanent join

Give it a minute or two to grab, hold your parts steady, and by tomorrow the joint's as strong as the plastic either side of it.

The glue most modellers reach for first. Pairs with any plastic kit and a set of clamps for tricky joins — see our full model glue & adhesives range for the rest of the line-up.
