CITADEL PLASTIC GLUE

Description

Achieve a Permanent Bond with Citadel Plastic Glue

When it comes to building a formidable army for the tabletop, the strength of your assembly is just as important as your strategy. Citadel Plastic Glue is specifically formulated to work with the polystyrene plastic used in Warhammer 40,000, Age of Sigmar, and other high-quality model kits. This is not a typical adhesive; it is a specialized tool designed to create a bond that is often stronger than the plastic itself.

Unlike super glue, which creates a brittle layer between two surfaces, this polystyrene cement works through a process known as a solvent weld. When applied, the glue slightly melts the surface of the plastic parts. As the pieces are joined and the solvent evaporates, the two components fuse into a single, solid piece of plastic, ensuring your models never fall apart during a heated battle.

Precision Application for Intricate Details

Modern hobby kits are filled with incredible detail, from tiny weapon options to delicate facial features. The Citadel Plastic Glue bottle is equipped with a thin metal applicator nozzle that allows for extreme precision. This ensures you can apply exactly the right amount of glue to the smallest contact points without flooding the surrounding detail or ruining the texture of the model.

The thin nozzle is particularly useful for reaching into tight gaps or securing sub-assemblies. If the nozzle ever becomes blocked by dried glue, it can be easily cleared with a thin wire or by carefully applying heat to the metal tip. This design ensures that the product remains usable from the first drop to the last, making it a cost-effective choice for miniature assembly.

The Role of Quality Glue in Your Hobby

In the context of the game, a well-assembled model is the foundation of a great collection. Whether you are securing a heavy bolter to a Space Marine or attaching the wings to a massive dragon, the reliability of your glue determines the longevity of your miniatures. Using a dedicated plastic model glue prevents the common “snap-offs” that occur with generic adhesives, protecting your investment of time and money.

Furthermore, the slight “melt” time provided by this glue gives you a few seconds to adjust the positioning of your parts. This is vital for ensuring that limbs are posed naturally and that weapon barrels are perfectly aligned. Once set, the bond is permanent, allowing you to move on to the painting stage with total confidence in the structural integrity of your work.

Key Features and Benefits

• Solvent Weld Technology: Fuses plastic parts together for a permanent, unbreakable bond.
• Precision Metal Nozzle: Allows for pinpoint accuracy on small components and thin joints.
• Optimized for Polystyrene: Designed specifically for the grey plastic used in major tabletop wargaming kits.
• Ergonomic Bottle: Easy-to-squeeze design provides excellent control over the flow of the adhesive.
• Fast-Drying Formula: Sets quickly enough to keep your project moving, but allows for minor adjustments during assembly.

Note: This product is intended for use on plastic models only. It will not bond resin, metal, or wood. For those materials, we recommend using a high-quality cyanoacrylate (super glue).
