Flexy 5K CA Glue For Photo Etch VMS Reviews

4.7 Rating 35 Reviews

Company's favourite glue for cementing photo-etched parts. This CA glue forms flexible bond that withstands much more punishment than classic brittle CA. This essentially means less accidentally lost parts and more productive and enjoyable work as there is much less need to reglue vulnerable parts. Extended open time (150% the standard CA) allows for good positioning of the parts.You also will be able to glue tricky parts (both PS and metal) that produce tension. Flexy is less aggressive and more easily removed when necessary it doesn't "eat plastic" as classic CAs

“First time I‚Äôve used this type of glue from this manufacture and have to say that I am impressed with it. So far I‚Äôve only used it to stick brass to plastic. Parts to be stuck were fragile brass window frames to go onto a 1/48 Sea King conversion and I needed time to ensure they covered the new openings correctly before the glue went off. So thumbs up from me and I would definatley buy this glue again.”

“I am building the Trumpeter 1/200 HMS Nelson and have drilled out the portholes to add etched brass versions. You need to have them lined up carefully with the rigole ends level also. Normal super glue which I have used previously sets too quickly so they can be uneven and it has little sheer strength so parts can be "wiped" off accidentally when handling to fit new parts. This glue grabs but sets slowly giving time to adjust the position with a cocktail stick getting a good result. It also holds firmer so no parts have come off. Very good for photo etch fixing.”

“Bought this glue after watching the "how to" video on the VMS website. Having had mixed success with super glues in the past, this glue has made all the difference to my modelling. Delayed setting, and the ability to remove and reposition parts even after the glue has set has made a world of difference to my modelling.Bought some of the thin version but have yet to try. Get some and get stuck in !”
