FAQs

What materials is this cement compatible with?

This cement is specifically designed for plastic model kits, including polystyrene and ABS plastics.

How long does it take for the cement to dry?

The cement is surface dry in 10-20 minutes and fully dry in 1 hour.

Can I remove the cement if I make a mistake?

If the cement is not fully dry, you can re-dissolve it with Liquid Poly or more Poly Cement. Once dry, it creates a permanent bond.

How should I store the cement?

Store the cement in a cool, dry place and keep the tube tightly closed.

What is the shelf life of the cement?

The shelf life can vary, but proper storage helps maintain the cement's quality. If the cement thickens, it may be nearing the end of its useful life.

How do I clean the applicator?

Wipe the applicator tip with a clean cloth or paper towel after use.

Is this cement safe to use?

This is a solvent-based product and should be used in a well-ventilated area. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep out of reach of children.

Troubleshooting

Parts not bonding

Ensure both surfaces are clean and free of debris. Apply a sufficient amount of cement and hold the parts firmly together until they are surface dry.

Cement drying too quickly

Work in a cooler environment or apply the cement in smaller increments. Ensure the cap is securely fastened after each use.

Cement too thick

Ensure the product is stored properly. If the cement has thickened, it may be nearing the end of its useful life.
