Customer reviews
Customers say
Customers like the adhesive strength, effectiveness, and drying time of the bonding adhesive. They mention it makes gluing models far cleaner to do rather than directly applying. Some also say it works well by capillary action on many applications. However, some customers have reported that the product smells of paint-thinner.

- Reviewed in Canada on May 11, 2025Verified PurchaseI got into Gunpla a few months back, and got myself an assembly of tools. Glass files, sandpaper, polishing stones, nippers, tweezers, the works. One thing someone recommended to me though was this little green glass container, telling me it was borderline necessary if I was going to stay in the hobby long term.
He was right. This thing is a godsend.
TAMIYA Quick-Dry Cement is an excellent "oh crap" fixit option for broken pieces. If you mess up the assembly of a piece or your part separator gets a bit violent, this stuff will almost uniformly fix it. Pop open the cap, dab a little on the broken zone, hold for a minute, and presto, the part is fixed. It is extremely hard to tell that a part has broken when using this stuff, thanks to its clear coloration.
The only problem with this stuff is it's powerful, paint-thinner like aroma. Even with the cap fastened tight this stuff smells really pungent, so I usually keep it in a ziplock bag and wrapped in paper towels to prevent leakage, and then keep it far away from my major work area unless I need it.
If you're a longtime builder, you really should keep a jar of this stuff handy at all times.

- Reviewed in Canada on March 28, 2025Verified PurchaseAmazing product for my plastic model airplane. It allows for a precise application and dries very quickly
- Reviewed in Canada on March 28, 2025Verified PurchaseExcellent thin cement for modelling. I use rubber covered clothes pins, or Frog-Tape, for gentle "clamping".

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic
Verified PurchasePerfect for scale model assembly as it allows me to hold the components in place and apply the glue along each seam on the outside of the joint. The glue the runs into the seam leaving little or no trace on the surface. Excellent product. Will buy again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent
Verified PurchaseUse for my Warhammer minis, works great. Super strong and bonds fast. Seems like a small container but likely will last forever. Maybe Google tips on how to glue well though, instructions on glueing could be nice.
