FAQ

What is the advantage of gel CA cement? The thicker gel consistency stays where it is applied, making it much easier to control than thin CA adhesives and reducing the risk of glue flowing into unwanted areas.

What materials can it bond? It is ideal for bonding plastic, metal, photo-etched brass, resin and many other modelling materials that require a strong, fast-setting adhesive.

Can I reposition parts after applying the glue? Yes. The gel formula provides a brief working time that allows minor adjustments before the adhesive fully cures.

Is this suitable for photo-etched parts? Yes. It is an excellent choice for attaching photo-etched detail parts where precise glue placement is essential.

Can it replace plastic cement? No. While it bonds many materials, traditional plastic cement chemically welds styrene parts together and is generally the preferred choice for standard plastic-to-plastic joints. Gel CA is best suited to mixed materials, resin and photo-etched components.

Important Notes

• Ensure bonding surfaces are clean, dry and free from grease before application.
• Apply only a small amount of adhesive for the strongest bond.
• Replace the cap immediately after use to prevent the nozzle from clogging.
• Avoid contact with skin and eyes, as cyanoacrylate bonds skin almost instantly.
• Use in a well-ventilated area.
• Store upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Follow all safety instructions printed on the packaging.
