About product

A liquid compound that adds the missing plastic

Liquid plastic in the thicker variant deals with the situations where a wider gap is left between parts or where a piece of an edge has broken off the kit. It is applied straight into the spot with a brush, bites gently into the surface of the styrene and, once cured, forms one whole with it. The result is then worked not as an alien filler but as the material the model is built from.

Thicker, or thinner

The maker offers two viscosities and each of them is aimed elsewhere. The thinner one wicks into hairline cracks and is at home on small flaws, whereas this thicker one holds its shape even on a vertical wall and can handle a volume that the other one would simply run off. For a long gap along a fuselage or for rebuilding a broken corner, reach for this one.

How to work with it

Choose several thin layers rather than one thick one, because the solvent leaves slowly from the depths and a spot that has not dried through tears when sanded. Let the compound air out between applications. Besides filling, it is also good for creating textures, welds for instance, or a rumpled tarpaulin, where a tool is pressed into the surface once it has flashed off.

Before you open the bottle

Work in a room with a supply of fresh air and clean the brush at once, while the compound is still wet. It will not bond to resin or metal, because its effect rests on dissolving polystyrene. On such parts a classic two-part filler is still the answer. Close the bottle carefully after work, otherwise the contents thicken and stop flowing where you need them. Put off sanding until the hardened spot is completely firm and unyielding to the touch.

FAQ

An ordinary filler just sits on the surface. This compound breaks the polystyrene down and bonds with it, so no visible boundary between two materials appears after sanding.

For hairline cracks and fine unevenness, where you need the compound to flow in by itself. For volume and for vertical surfaces this thicker one is more suitable.

No. The principle rests on dissolving polystyrene, so no bond forms on other materials and a different filler or glue is needed.

It depends on the thickness of the application. With a thin layer it is a matter of tens of minutes, with a thicker layer it is sensible to leave the work overnight.
