The Army Painter | GL2012 | Plastic Glue (Polystyrene Cement) — 24g

The Hobbyist Workflow & Technical Application

Assembling your army requires more than just “sticking parts together”—it requires a structural weld.The Army Painter Plastic Glueis a specialized polystyrene cement designed to simplify the transition from sprue to tabletop. Unlike standard adhesives that sit on top of the material, this formula creates a chemical reaction that slightly melts the plastic surfaces. As it cures, the two pieces fuse into a single, continuous part, eliminating the risk of components snapping off during gameplay or transport.

BTH System Performance Factors

• Bonding Chemistry:Solvent Weld (Polystyrene Cement).Formulated with acetone, ethyl methyl ketone, and ethyl acetate to create a permanent fusion between plastic parts.
• Material Compatibility:Exclusively forHigh-Impact Polystyrene (HIPS).Perfect for plastic miniatures and models found on sprues; will not bond metal or resin.
• The “Army Painter” Edge:Features athin-flowing consistencyand a precision applicator tip that allows for mess-free, controlled placement on intricate model components without adhering to your skin.
• System Synergy:Optimized for the“Cut-File-Glue” workflow.Best used after removing parts with thePlastic Frame Cutter (TL5039)and smoothing joints withMiniature & Model Files (TL5033).
