2. What type of glue is needed for plastic model kits?
The type of glue needed for plastic model kits depends on the type of plastic being used in the kit.
For polystyrene plastic kits, which are the most common type, plastic model cement or polystyrene cement is typically used. This type of glue works by chemically melting the plastic slightly, so that when it dries, the two pieces of plastic are fused together as one. Popular brands of plastic model cement include Tamiya Extra Thin Cement, Testors Cement for Plastic Models, and Humbrol Poly Cement.
For other types of plastic model kits, such as resin or vinyl kits, different types of glue may be required. For example, superglue (cyanoacrylate) can be used for some resin kits, and heat can be used to melt and bond vinyl kits.
It's important to follow the instructions for the specific glue and model kit you are using, as different types of glue can have different drying times and bonding strengths. It's also a good idea to work in a well-ventilated area when using glue.
