Tamiya Epoxy Cement 2 × 5g 87100

Tamiya Epoxy Cement is a high-strength two-part adhesive designed for assembling scale models that require exceptional bonding strength. Ideal for attaching photo-etched, die-cast and other metal components, it provides approximately five minutes of working time, allowing precise positioning before curing. Once fully hardened, it forms a strong, shock-resistant bond and dries clear without the whitening commonly associated with cyanoacrylate adhesives.

FAQ

What is Tamiya Epoxy Cement used for? It is designed for applications where a strong, durable bond is required, particularly when attaching photo-etched, die-cast, resin and other metal components to scale models.

How long do I have to position the parts? The adhesive provides approximately five minutes of working time, allowing you to accurately align components before it begins to harden.

Does the adhesive dry clear? Yes. Once cured, it dries without the white residue that can sometimes occur with cyanoacrylate (CA) adhesives.

Is it stronger than CA glue? For many modelling applications, epoxy provides a tougher, more shock-resistant bond than CA glue, making it ideal for heavier parts or assemblies subject to handling.

How do I use the epoxy? Dispense equal amounts of the resin and hardener, mix thoroughly until uniform, then apply to the bonding surfaces before assembling the parts.

Important Notes

• Mix equal amounts of resin and hardener immediately before use.
• Ensure all bonding surfaces are clean, dry and free from grease.
• Apply only enough adhesive to cover the bonding surfaces.
• Allow the adhesive to cure fully before handling or placing the model under load.
• Clean excess adhesive before it hardens.
• Use in a well-ventilated area and avoid prolonged skin contact.
• Store both tubes tightly sealed in a cool, dry place.
• Keep out of reach of children and follow all safety instructions on the packaging.
