FLEXY 5K CA contact adhesive for photo-etched
Company's favourite glue for cementing photo-etched parts. This CA glue forms flexible bond that withstands much more punishment than classic brittle CA. This essentially means less accidentally lost parts and more productive and enjoyable work as there is much less need to reglue vulnerable parts. Extended open time (150% the standard CA) allows for good positioning of the parts.You also will be able to glue tricky parts (both PS and metal) that produce tension.

VMS Styrene Cement Refills extra thin cement for polystyrene 2 types
Featuring cutting edge chemical formulation VMS Styrene Cement 2.0 ECO is devoid of smelly acetone and has only mild and pleasant smell and slower evaporation rate - this means less headache for you, this clue can't cause dizziness. It will also react plastic a bit more slowly so if you get the glue where it shouldn't go you can quickly wipe it away and it will leave no trace! Use fast type for general cementing, employ slow type for parts that require longer open times such as figures (adjusting limbs) or cementing single track links - easy shape entire tracks, create sagging - tracks will remain flexible around 1 h before they start to stiffen.
Combine with: polystyrene
Available volumes: 30 ml glass bottle
Recommended techniques: fine nylon or red sable brush

VMS CA Glue filler
Mixed with this fine powder CA glue turns into fast curing putty you can use for instant gap filling much like the standard putty but without the usual wait. Recommended to mix with VMS Flexy SLOW CA Glue. Use: Dispense a portion of CA glue on a piece of styrene, metal sheet, never on cardboard. Spray some powder onto the glue and mix it with a toothpick till you reach the consistency of putty. Quickly apply the putty and even it with a hobby knife to minimise the residue around the gap. Once the filling is dry sand it with 600 grade paper and follow with 1000 grade. Please click the bottle photo to see this product in action!
Combine with: CA Glue
Recommended techniques: mix using a toothpick, apply with a blade
