The Industry Standard Solvent-Weld Adhesive for Scale Modelers:

Achieve seamless, unbreakable joints on scale model kits with Tamiya 87012 Plastic Cement (20ml)! Known worldwide as a staple in hobby workshops, this classic medium-viscosity solvent cement is specially formulated to bond polystyrene (PS) plastic. Unlike conventional surface glues, Tamiya cement chemically melts and fuses contact surfaces together at the molecular level, creating a welded seam as durable as the original plastic.

Integrated Brush Applicator & Anti-Tip Hexagonal Glass Bottle:

Designed with builder convenience and safety in mind, the 20ml bottle features an integrated fine-bristle applicator brush mounted directly under the screw-on cap. This allows precise, controlled glue application directly onto joint edges without drips or stringing. The compact 47 mm tall hexagonal glass bottle provides a low center of gravity, preventing accidental tip-overs on crowded hobby workbenches.

Controlled Working Time & Reliable Structural Bonding:

Offering an optimal working time of 1–2 minutes, builders have ample time to align parts, clamp hull seams, and adjust sub-assemblies before initial setting. The cement reaches a full structural cure within 24 hours, drying clear and sanding down smoothly for invisible seam line removal on Gunpla armor, military scale kits, aircraft fuselages, and custom scratch builds.
