EMA Plastic Weld Glue Cement Glue For Hard To Stick Plastics Weald

Product Information

Professional model makers have used plastics as virtually their sole working material for the past 30 years. However, hobbyists, miniaturists and amateur model builders have, for the most part, continued to use wood, card and brass for their models. There are, of course, applications where those materials are suitable or desirable. But in most cases, Plastruct should be your material of choice. For smudge free bonding, apply a small amount of solvent cement with a blunt tipped syringe needle at one end of the parts to be joined and allow the cement to flow, through capillary action, the entire length and breadth of the joint. This will provide a “weld” as strong as the surrounding areas. Be sure to use PLASTRUCT Plastic Weld or Bondene Cements. If goods are returned as faulty, generally we will provide a replacement. If the item is of a ‘ready to go’ type model eg. Styrene (also known as Hi-Impact PolyStyrene) is the most commonly used plastic in molded plastic kits (Model Railroad, Automobile, Airplane and Ship). For that reason, we have chosen Styrene as the medium in our New FineLine Structural model parts for compatibility in kit-bashing. It may be combined with wood, metal and other plastics using special glues or cements. Styrene has a tendency to be brittle, especially after lengthy U.V. exposure or painting. It is easily warped by solvents, so care must be taken when cementing flat sheets for walls, and reinforcement bracing is recommended. When constructing closed tanks or structures, venting is recommended to allow the inside and outside temperatures to equalize. Styrene has excellent forming characteristics and bonds rapidly and permanently. Styrene plastic cuts easily using the “scribe and break” method. Only use Enamel, Alkyd Oil, Latex or Acrylic paints specified for Styrene plastics. ACRYLIC Paint the foam a color that will be a suitable undercoat for your finished landscape. Use latex or acrylic paint. OR, see our Polyterrain or Magic Earth materials.

For professional quality painting of structures, it is recommended that, when possible, construction of the main components be completed and painted assembled. Paint sub-assemblies and other detail parts before attaching to the main structure. Use solvent cement sparingly during final assembly so paint will not run.

Below you will find useful information and characteristics of the most commonly used plastic materials to assist you in using them properly. The most commonly used plastic materials are: ABS has been hailed by professional modelmakers as “the best all-around construction material since wood”. Stronger and more rigid than many metals; easier and more flexible to work with than any previous plastic; cleaner and more durable than wood, ABS structural shapes by PLASTRUCT have been used for engineering design models on an international scale since their introduction. ABS is also one of the best plastics for heat or vacuum forming and, of course, has excellent bonding characteristics, not only to itself but to other commonly used plastics.

ABS hand rails and stair rails may be curved to fit circular applications by softening them in warm water or heating with a hair dryer. Stairs may be modified to fit the circumference of a tank or other curved surface by cutting off the stair stringer from the side to be cemented. Tape the stair in place. Attach each stair step separately.

Please note many modelers refer to scale as a fraction, while others refer to it as a ratio. For instance, 1/48 is also referred to as 1:48. Both are correct. POPULAR MODELING SCALES HOBBY SCALE For the various materials found in PLASTRUCT’s Catalog, the following cements are recommended: STYRENE PS-25, 26 and 27 make excellent road and highway guardrails when cut into strips and mounted on square posts. For PPE, you'll for sure need gloves made of neoprene rubber rather than surgical latex types. It will remove the oils in your skin. And definately goggles for the eyes. Had some spalsh in my right eye one time while working on a plane, and it will make a grown man cry!! lol Ventilation is also a must - got 'happy and giggly' due to it one time with my supervisor one time cleaning another fuel tank where ventilation was an issue.

To represent building elevations (floors) or glass panels on glass skyscrapers, scribe the front side (reflective side) of Mirrored Sheet with a hobby knife using a straight edge. Trace the grooves with an ink pen or bullet-tipped marker of the appropriate color until the desired effect is achieved. To create realistic welded (or riveted) tank seams, use a radiator hose clamp as your horizontal guide. Tighten the clamp around the tube, and using a hobby knife, lightly scribe lines every 8 scale feet around the tank. Scribe vertical lines using a straight edge.The A-Stand – AMMO presents an exclusive new range of lacquer-based, high- performance paints designed for modelling use. Formulated with ultrafine pigments, A-Stand is a range of professional paints that offers extremely realistic finishes difficult to match by other brands on the market. The A-Stand range offers a complete solution for the modeller: it includes an extensive colour chart of metallic and transparent tones, as well as primers and varnishes. These paints provide perfect results for any modelling subject, whether aircraft, military or civilian vehicles, figures, science-fiction and fantasy, or dioramas, providing a highly durable finish when dry. Why do you need A-Stand? The excellent fluidity of A-Stand products makes them easy to spray without clogging the airbrush. They also provide a tough and durable finish once dry, allowing the application of any other lacquer, enamel weathering products, or acrylic paint on top without issue. A-Stand products dry to the touch in a short period of time of approximately 30 minutes, depending on the amount of paint applied, ambient humidity and temperature. The A-Stand paint series includes various lines of products used to apply a range of effects and finishes on your models. What are the advantages of A-Stand? The range of A-Stand…
