Gluing & Adhesives

Adhesives are an important part of model making as they are used to join different parts together. There are a variety of adhesives used in model making, depending on what type of material is to be joined and what properties the adhesive is to have.

One of the most common adhesives used in model making is the so-called "all-purpose adhesive", also known as universal adhesive. This adhesive is suitable for a wide range of materials and is particularly suitable for indoor use because it dries quickly and does not emit unpleasant fumes.

Another commonly used adhesive in model making is superglue. This adhesive cures very quickly and is therefore particularly suitable for applications where quick connections are required. However, superglue is not suitable for all materials and should therefore be selected carefully.

There are also special adhesives for certain applications in model making, such as plastic adhesive, which is particularly suitable for joining plastic parts together, or metal adhesive, which is particularly suitable for joining metal parts together.

Adhesives in model making should always be used carefully and cautiously to avoid damage to the models. It is also important to carefully follow the adhesive's instructions for use to ensure that the adhesive works properly.

Overall, adhesives are an important part of model building and can help bond different parts together and create stable and durable models.
