Zap Plastic Model Cement
The Traditional Solvent-Bonding Solution for Plastic Kits
Zap Plastic Model Cement is the definitive choice for enthusiasts who prefer the classic "solvent-weld" method. Unlike instant glues, this cement works by slightly dissolving the surface of polystyrene parts, fusing them into a single, solid piece as the bond cures. It is the perfect adhesive for traditional plastic kits and repairing many common household plastics.
Why Modellers & Hobbyists Choose Zap Cement:- Permanent Chemical Weld: Fuses plastic parts together, creating a joint that is often stronger than the surrounding material.
- Antique Plastic Restoration: An excellent choice for repairing older or "antique" plastics that require a traditional solvent bond rather than a surface adhesive.
- Forgiving Work Time: The slower set time allows you to slide components into the perfect position—ideal for complex assemblies where precision is paramount.
The staple adhesive for static plastic kits, including aircraft, tanks, and ships. It is specifically formulated for polystyrene (styrene), providing a clean, structural bond that can be sanded and painted once fully cured.
Household Maintenance & RepairBeyond the hobby bench, this cement is ideal for fixing broken plastic toys, household items, and decorative trim. It offers better gap-filling and structural "fusion" for hard plastics than standard liquid glues.
Pro-Tips for a Professional Weld- Patience for Strength: Plastic Model Cement requires time to evaporate and cure. Dont be in a rush—allow the solvent to do its work for the strongest possible bond.
- Use Fixtures: Because of the slower set time, use clamps, rubber bands, or low-tack tape to fixture your joints. This ensures parts stay perfectly aligned without needing to hold them by hand.
- Clean Surfaces: The cement must touch raw plastic to create a weld. Ensure you scrape away any paint or chrome plating from the bonding areas before application.
