This stuff is the most amazing glue I have ever used. A super hard, but slightly flexible bond. Something you do not even remotely get with regular CA's. Well worth the extra $ for certain jobs that need it.
Thanks mate, your feed back is most welcome! All the best and happy modelling, Chris
@@Vmssupplies I build ship models as opposed to vehicles or aircraft. On sailing ships, my preferred model, I use "a ton" of CA during the rigging process to secure knots and belaying (works like a charm), when it's dry I just spray Dullcoat and you can't see it. CA is not good for bonds that flex or need "real strength" as it is too brittle for that, but I'm going to try your CA on my next smaller hull as a test....I think it'll work just fine.
These product's and this companies service are second to none. I've purchased a range of pigments, fixers and thinners etc and I have been really impressed they are really beautiful to work with.
Far too kind! Thanks a lot!
Just tried this product out. Worked great. Always had an issue with gluing PE but this stuff was super easy to use and created a strong bond that wasn't brittle.
Very happy to hear that Chad! Thanks a lot for you kind feedback. All the best and happy modelling, Chris
Just saw this for the first time and I am blown away by the grip or strength of Flexy 5k. I will have to look into getting some of it soon. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed it. There are many glues in our Flexy 5K family but this one is the king. :)
I just clicked the link to your store. I will surf through and purchase few items. New to armor modeling so a lot of figure out about weather. Also, just subscribed 😉
Very well done tutorial. I learned all I needed to know from your video. Can't do better than that. Superb CA! Perfect example of getting what you pay for.
Thanks a lot Camden! Glad to hear you liked the video and are happy with the glue! Chris
So far everything I have used from VMS has been above expectation. I have a M1151 EAC from Academy that I stopped working on since I had 3 Eduard PE sets to install on this kit that never seemed to want to set up and adhere with regular CA. I think I shall revisit this kit when I am done with my current build.
Thanks a lot for your support Steve, please visit us at the club, guys will love to have you! facebook.com/groups/VMS.MODELLING.CLUB/ Chris
In a mear 16 minutes. I've learned so much about how to photoetch models I'm getting the Voyager 1 model kit and with the photoetch kit The model is going to look so AWESOME. thank you very much for the lesson 👍👍👍👍
Hi Roger,
Glad you found the video useful. :) Voyager 1 is a cool topic, I wish you all the best with with this project!
Chris
What glue would you recommend for photoetch parts
Actually what is the best brand I have a few hobby shops in my area just hope they have the glue I need
The glue used in the video - VMS Flexy 5K. You can buy it directly from VMS at www.vms-supplies.com or from our partners in U.K. and U.S. Check out this cool review of Flexy 5K by a pro modeller Julian Conde: michtoy-from-the-front.blogspot.com/2017/07/trench-runner-review-julian-conde.html
All the best,
Chris
That's some excellent work on fine details and thanks for the info and instructions on application learned a lot, will have to look for that ca glue cheers!
Thanks a bunch Robert - very happy to hear you liked it! Happy modelling, Chris
Great tutorial! Comes in very handy for me as i am currently building the M4A3 "Victory Kiss" from Meng which comes with a lot (!) of photo etch parts:)
Thank you very much!
Glad you enjoyed it! Have fun with your M4A3! Chris
Great video. Bought some will be using it this weekend.
Hi Brent,
Glad to hear that you like it. Have fun with your project!
Chris
Easier with VMS that's for sure. Adjustability is a bonus. Other than Flexi, I resort to gel CA glue. However I have many VMS products which lessen hurdles. I find VMS pricing very acceptable compared to performance. These tutorials do you justice. Manipulating & bending photo etch is the real tricky part.
Thanks a lot Daniel for your generous comment and support! 😍 Chris
Great video! More please :)
Thanks a lot Nathan! More videos will follow please stay in touch with our channel. :) Best regards, Chris
Great video, thank you!!
Thanks David, your kind feedback is much appreciated! All the best, Chris
...WOW...VERY NICE!!! THANKS!
Glad you liked it!
Cheers,
Chris
Thanks for your vid. In past I have used Zap but never used a wire. I always ended in a mess and when it came for photo etch I tended to give it a miss. Also I ended with corrosion because I used to much. I try your method next model that needs this technique. Fingers crossed, thanks again.
Hi Mick, Thanks for your kind feedback, I'm glad to learn that you enjoyed the video. I wish you all the best with your next build! Chris
Very nice video, Thank You.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Chris
Great job!
Thanks a lot!
nice one, thanks for the info.
Glad to be of help. 😉 Happy modelling, Chris
Nice tip, I will have to find some of this glue and try it out. At present I am using a 5 minute epoxy with better results then CA glue.
Cheers mate!
OK, I'm buying it right now!
Great, you will love the result. Thanks a lot for choosing VMS! Cheers, Chris
Thank you, I now clasp the concept.
My pleasure! Happy modelling, Chris
Btw, I would love to see how you paint up those tanks in your intro. They look amazing. I grew up on military bases and saw tanks on a daily basis. Your work is so effective that it reminds me of the real thing and it was the paint work that stood out to me.
Thank you very much! All in due time, more videos will be showing up every month, painting is on the list too. :) All the best, Chris
amazing video! subbed!
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheer, Chris
This is hands down the only glue that I use i am a fulltime model builder i love all the VMS products we need more the only problem i have it can be hard to get it in the USA i order Direct or from Michigan toys soldier .i try and spread the word on the products they are awesome
Thanks a lot for all your support Bradley, far too kind! Soon we will appear at www.hobbyworld-usa.com - stay tuned!
Great work
Cheers!
Wow that’s pretty damn nice VMS! 👍
Thanks a lot, much appreciated! All the best and happy modelling, Chris
Awesome! 👍👌👏
Thanks, glad you liked the video!

VMS....I sure did Chris, very much indeed!
Now I'm gonna go and see what else you've put up there....here!
Have a great weekend!
Jan
Right on Jan, you have a great one too!
Iv noticed my 2 different debonders are just Acetone! That's all the ingredient label has bit annoying when turns to a gel when using them though I find! Especially when a tiny bit comes through a mesh hole I cant stand that! Iv found a super glue that's called fantastic elastic so going away to try this on a couple of PE armour skirts for.my jagdpanther 2 I dont want them all glued on I'll try use the hangers there kinda crappy plenty scrap PE left over to make some hooks for the ends tho gonna try that!so can take some off n display with them on or off
Hi there, you are right, acetone based debonders are a big no-no - they will dissolve polystyrene - that's what our models are made of. For CA removal we advise scraping with the blade and sanding or just using it more sparingly. Thanks a lot for your feedback! Happy modelling, Chris
Hi Chris, just returned to this having obtained some of the glue.
I found I was putting too much down even with the cut needle , going to try the wire application tomorrow as have some pe claspes to glue . Like the way you were able to move the part even when on the glue, hope I can manage this ! John .
I'm sure you will do all right John it's the matter of practice. If there is too much glue on the wire/needle you can touch the tip to a piece of paper so some of it is absorbed away. :) Have fun, Chris
@@Vmssupplies Chris a great improvement, acheived more than I've ever done before.
A few over glues, but practice will improve this . John
@@tomatoes3 Thanks a bunch John!
Just ordered some of this cause i have had problems with photoetch staying stuck down with normal CA & Epoxy Resin.
Cheers Neil, hope the glue helps with your project, you can also try sanding and/or degreasing is parts are stubborn, details are in FAQ section at our page: www.vms-supplies.com/flexy-5k-pe-product-overview Best regards, Chris
Thanks for the great video, Do you have larger sizes and do you have a distributor in the US?
Hi, thanks lot for your kind comment, glad you enjoyed it, please visit here to see the list of stockists: www.vms-supplies.com/buy-now Best regards, Chris P.S. One bottle will go a long way unless you build 1 several models a day. :)
Where does one obtain the brass rods that you use for applying glue?
Hi Tom, it's just brass wire that has been cut with pliers: www.ebay.com/sch/150059/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=brass+wire&LH_TitleDesc=0
I have a P-38 Lightning 1/32 scale Revell that I built years ago and I want to repair the landing gear. I purchased a kit of metal parts by Scale Aircraft Conversions which is made as a replacement set for this plane. Will this Flexy 5K work for gluing the metal gear parts to the styrene plastic of this plane? Will it be strong enough to hold the weight of the plane? Thanks in advance!
Hi Sam. Thanks for your question. This glue will produce strong bonds with white metal - both metal to metal and metal to PS. All you have to remember is sand the metal parts to produce even and patina-free surface for the glue and then degrease them with our Styrene cements just to make sure - please check our other video ua-cam.com/video/upR0CoK-fXU/v-deo.html we show how to prepare metal for cementing there. PS should be degreased with dish washing liquid. Important thing is how you actually incorporate the gear into the model, you should drill holes to accept the shafts and it should work all right. All the best and happy modelling, Chris
@@Vmssupplies Thanks a lot for the help Chris! I will check out the other vid and maybe I can do some experimenting on some spare parts first.
@@MustangSam Glad to be of help Sam, trials are always a good idea. Will keep my fingers crossed for a successful repair of your P-38! Le me know how it goes, Chris
Can you use thast glue that uses UV activator also? as thats instant
You can use whatever you want as long as it works for your parts. Some parts need quick setting some slow setting glue - we also have slower version Flexy 5K SLOW, in case you need ore time :) Happy modelling, Chris
Where can I purchase the PE element snaps which told the tools??
Look for PE clamps for tools by a company ABER. These are the best! Chris
I have had this happen to me twice now, and i was hopeing you could tell me why. Using a thin ca, (not your brand) to glue 1/2 x 2 inch pieces of pe into a rectangle of fairly thick styrene caused the styrene frame to just break apart into three pieces. I didnt clamp it, or drop it, it just broke apart. Any thoughts?
Hello, that's quite peculiar. Can you post a photo in our Facebook Club?
Hey, dude. Do you have a plan to make a debonder for this glue?
After all we've released a Debonder last year: www.vms-supplies.com/glue-remove-debonder
That's why I always add a couple of drops of Extra thin to my super glues if can only get hold of the cheap ones! The extra thin allows for abit of flexibility revell contacta is the best for it though probably all I use that dreadful stuff for these days
An Interesting idea, always happy to hear about others experimenting!
@@Vmssupplies I thought alot of people knew about this even mixing abit of PVA in with your superglue gives it a shock absorbent! It's maybe an old joiners trick then we done at work for wood and superglue under brackets etc, I've used it on my models for year's aswell Haha thanks for the reply that's interesting to hear it's not getting used in the hobby as I've used it for brass items for 10 years haha, it's hard to get VMS here in the UK I'm sure you sent me a line before for a UK website for it?
@@EMTBonsai Cool beans mate, our UK stockist is Scale Model Shop UK - when you Google them they will cope up on the top. :) Chris
i like your video, but how do you put togheter the german clasp?
Thanks! You need precision tweezers. Chris
This could be just what I'm looking for. My PE never sticks. It'll stick to everything BUT the kit and it drives me nuts. I've got the HK 1/48 B-17 to build with a ton of Eduard PE. I'll be buying me some of this stuff asap.
Hello and thanks a lot for your comment! Eduard PE is notorious for not sticking but this varies from set to set. The glue should help, you can also sand/degrease the more problematic parts. Best regards, Chris
What about drying speed? How much time I have for moving parts before they holds? Thanks!
Hello, Drying time is 150% of standard CA. If you need more time you can try our Flexy 5K SLOW with 500% longer drying time: www.vms-supplies.com/vms-flexy-5k-slow Best regards, Chris
VMS Thanks! I will 👍
Interesting tutorial. Product seems fine, but 1/700 scale PE needs much finer applicator tools. Be curious as to the curing time?
Thanks! For finer scales just use finer wire. Curing time is seconds depending on air humidity the more water in the air the quicker the curing. Chris
Wowwwww... awesome cement
How i can buy this, im come from indonesia, thx u
Hi, thanks for your kind comment! You can acquire Flexy 5K at www.vms-supplies.com/store-cements-specials
i find most difficult with pe is picking up very small parts.. usually i try to pick up with tip of blade and that eventually will work but can slip off before applying..any suggestions? great vid tks!
Glad you enjoyed the video. I tend to use precision tweezers, with fine tips. Some guys use a blunt pencil tip I hear that acts as a sticky "magnet". Happy modelling, Chris 😉
@@Vmssupplies tks something to try!
Tamiya angled tweezers. It's all I use. I still have conventional straight tweezers, but only use them to remove strands of hair; as they grip better. But for positioning of model parts; nothing comes close to angled tweezers. They're all I've used for the past 30 odd yrs, and I build 1/350 ship models with all the hundreds of extra bits of PE.
This glue looks pretty interesting; I should at least give it a shot. What I do already works though; 'tacking' the part with a bit of PVA/Gator's Grip directly on the model surface, get the part positioned correctly, then apply super thin CA, finally [if needed e.g rails-which can flex over time] apply a 50/50 mix of PVA and water.
hello, maybe a stupid question..
it is possible to use this glue to stick photo-etched part (for example part of cockpit) on already painted part?
thanks for answer :)
Hi There,
Absolutely you can do so. The glue will work fine. :)
Chris
thank you very much for answer :)
You got it!
Fantastic product, though it has one significant setback: the time you’ve got to use it.
I’ve been using this glue for over a year and a half now. I’ve had to get it replaced about three times due to it expiring. Unfortunately, I often wouldn’t even get the opportunity to use up half of the bottle before that happens.
I’ve talked about this with other experienced modelers, specifically ones specializing in ship models but also AFVs, and they also noticed that issue.
It’s unfortunate as the glue simply stops sticking after about 3 months of usage (again, sometimes using up only half of the container) resulting in the requirement to replace it for quite a high price, just to see it happen again. I’ve worked with other glue brands and honestly can’t recall encountering such an issue. But don’t let this hold you back from using it as it’s a really great product and works like a charm. Hope that the production department manages to figure something out.
Thanks a lot for your kind comment and suggestions! We are constantly working on the packaging and formula, latest test glues have been good for 12 months and the counter is ticking but these were unopened. Cheers, Chris
What about keeping it in the fridge between usage?
This can help with shelf life, yes.
@@geoffhalstead1811 I mean, who keeps their superglue in a fridge? Especially in a large family home?
@@Spinomaks
I do 😂🤗😳🤭
Where do get this glue
Hi Rick,
Glue is available from our official store and local partners: www.vms-supplies.com/buy-now
All the best,
Chris
Can/should this be used on resin as well?
Hello Martin, Yes, will work and we even have a resin dedicated type: ua-cam.com/video/upR0CoK-fXU/v-deo.html Happy modelling, Chris
Thank you for a superb video, great filming and text, but why this need for music. With a quality product and video production do you really think there is any need for a backing track. I know I can turn the sound off, but it would be nice hear the spoken word explaining the subject, after all we don't have music in the news broadcasting ....... Yet! ☺
Thanks a lot. :) Music + text is simply easier production wise. A quality clip with spoken commentary takes twice as much time to produce, more time is spent writing a script and editing what you get after a session, cutting out the noises etc. I hope in future we will be able to produce spoken videos though. :)
VMS ok well I can always turn the sound off then , lol .
John
And play a favourite track instead. :)
please show using on 1/350, 1/700 PhotoEtch for ships.
Hi there,
Thanks for the suggestion - much appreciated, I will consider shooting a second video in the future. The cementing procedure would be similar for 1/350 and 1/700 ships though all you have to take into account are proper tools - right tweezers and a good set of application wires. The glue itself will behave similarly whenever you glue plastic to metal.
Best regards,
Chris
I just ordered some of this stuff, looks impressive.
Is it a CA glue? Can I use a zip kicker to speed drying?
Hi There Alan, thanks for your message and order. You are correct this is CA glue. The glue dries quickly enough you won't need to add anything to it unless you want it to dry very, very fast. All the best and happy modelling, Chris
Good afternoon. What's the glue you're gluing with?
Hello It's VMS Flexy 5K PE. Happy modelling, Chris
Can this be used on metal earth models?
Those models do no require glue, if you wan't to glue add-ons or strengthen the structure then it should work. You are welcome to test it.
I am beginner and have question. The pe parts I want to use have printed gauges,for cockpit, will the glue destroy this if contact occurs? Thank you for any help.
Hello, it's best to avoid contact with printed layer, the thing is the glue will not destroy it on the spot, but when it dries it will look bad and if you try to remove it a problem may occur. For the gauges you can use our Transpa Fix 6K glue which will glue them fine and is reversible: ua-cam.com/video/0rpQTYsqFws/v-deo.html Glue is for clear parts but will cope with PE just fine.
@@Vmssupplies Thank you so much for your help. Really. Time to buy glue.😊
@@skimmer8774 Happy modelling then!
is this product available in singapore?
Hello, not just yet but we ship worldwide with tracking number via our global store: www.vms-supplies.com/store-pigments Please note, due to covid there may be some delays in processing your order as the flights from EU to Singapore are temporarily suspended but soon to resume. Best regards, Chris
what is the model and did it come supplied with etched parts? trumpeter? panzer 4
Hi Dalton,
It's Dragon's Pz.Kpfw. III Ausf. N sPz.Abt.501 Afrika (kit #6431) the kit came with some PE like engine deck grills and was detailed up with Aber clasps and OVM (set 35A98 ) + Alliance Model Works claps (LW25047). I also did some minute scratch parts.
Chris
VMS thanks for the info bro. In the intro the last tank that looks like the hetzer info please thanks good job weathering
VMS working on classy hobby Luchs scratch building interior lower hull
It's Trumpeters E-50 + Voyager's PE. :)
Right on! Luchs is a great subject, have it on my list too. Let me know how it turns out!
i request you make video how to put PE in 1/700 WW2 ships specially the railings.
Hi there, maybe one day as we have many other videos to attend to. Good news: we will be releasing new Flexy 5K types in several days, you will certainly love the new THIN type which works by capillary action and will be sweet for railings. Please sign up for our news letter at www.vms-supplies.com to be the first to know about new glues. :) Cheers, Chris
Here's what I do-I build 1/350 ships; I 'tack' the part with a bit of PVA/Gator's Grip directly on the model surface [NOT the part, as if you miss-it will take the glue off] using Tamiya angled tweezers to get the part positioned correctly, then apply super thin CA-continuously adjusting the angle of the part 'till it's set. Finally [if needed e.g rails-which can flex over time] I apply a 50/50 mix of PVA and water.
For rails, I start by glueing one section or stanction to "spot weld", let it set [working on other parts in the meanwhile], then go back to it, glueing and letting cure a section at a time.
For positioning horizontal one-bar footrails [something you don't need to worry about in 1/700, as they're already out of scale in 1/350]; I stick down little "L" shapes of masking tape-to rest the rail on as I glue. That's a neat little trick I got from the internet, that makes this initially daunting job very easy.
Otherwise, use calipers to measure distance and mark them down on a piece of paper, so you know where to cut and fold.
Finally, with multi-bend rails; always dry fit first.
I bought some, it lasted a few days then wouldn't even come out of the bottle. They said send it back with proof of purchase, like I saved the receipt and was gonna pay shipping.
Hi Owen, Sorry to hear you were sold old stock. A proof of purchase can be anything even an order email form a models shop of PayPal confirmation email. If you bought from one of our partners they will gladly replace it with the new no-clog bottle, improved shelf life formula version we are currently producing - these last like forever, just ask them for a replacement. We in turn will replace any bad glues our partners report to us or glues bought at www.vms-supplies.com only order number is required here. Hope this helps. Chris
Can we get this stuff in Canada 🇨🇦?
Yes either by GLOBAL Store or Michtoy: www.vms-supplies.com/buy-now Best regards, Chris
Okay, I'm convinced...not the most scientific test, but effective enough for me to buy the stuff. I'm always amazed at how CA will harden instantly to anything I don't want it to...and yet takes forever to bond and hold a critical or difficult to attach part...just amazing how that works.
Thanks a lot for your support Brian and glad you enjoyed the video! There are many more glues in Flexy family - thin, slow, black, you name it. There is also a dedicated VMS debonder. Happy modelling, Chris
Need to invest in some decent CA, the stuff I'm using @ the min is cheap poundland shite and it is my first photo etch use on a model! Just for the record it's a Thunder Bergepanzer Hetzer late with Voyagermodel PE, gorgeous little kit. TFS, GB :)
Thanks a lot for watching and your comment Greame! Have fun with the Bergepanzer Hetzer, we are positive the glues will help you hit the mark! Cheers, Chris
@@Vmssupplies Thanks for the reply Chris, I thought CA was CA but now I know it's not all created equal. Cheers GB :)
can i use super instead of that?
Hi Yes, you can but this is a Rolls Royce among PE glues tested by pro modellers and you got a lot in the bottle, lasts forever. :)
@@Vmssupplies that all i need to hear,thank you
Does the glue turn dull once dried or it stays clear?
Hi, it will get slightly milky, if you need full clear glue you can try our Transpa 6K glue it's for clear parts but can glue PE just as well. www.vms-supplies.com/vms-transpa-fix-6k Chris
Thanks. I'll look into it. The PE parts I'm dealing with are super tiny so I hope the 6k you mention does the job clean
@@JayO1963 This glues is special in that it's reversible you can remove excess with VMS Universal weathering carrier any time. Chris
Awesome. Then I'm ready to give it a try
@@JayO1963 Cool beans!
Update, just ordered some.
Thanks for trying VMS - much appreciated. :)
I literally almost smashed three projects due to trying to glue photo etch to a model with vms ,ammo and bobs they all seem to only glue my finger instantly.i give up on photo etch
Don't give up! You can get there with some practice, it's just a matter of developing the skill. Best of luck! Chris
@@Vmssupplies I guess I'm just under the impression and I'm wrong obviously that instant cement should be instant. I glued same piece on today after a night of relaxing and stepping away it glued a lot better however some other pieces seem like the glue had dried before the photo edge piece made it there I took the piece of off sanded it and try it again and worked I'm not sure I need a class on this stuff. When I watch videos it looks so much easy they put the glue put the piece there and then done
@@kiethpederson7558 Happy to hear that, there is some learning curve, we've all been there. It will get better from model to model. :)
it looks like generic glue completely filled my requirements
Good for you Filip, generic CA will do for basic projects but the luxury of not losing the PE parts while handling your model later for instance during extensive weathering and while handling RC models comes as a real boon for more demanding modellers. There are other advantages too. :) Please have a look at this independent review to see what I mean: michtoy-from-the-front.blogspot.com/2017/07/trench-runner-review-julian-conde.html
Cheers,
Chris
👍
Thanks buddy!
Question....Why not paint those PE parts first???
It's easier to airbrush the entire model when the PE parts are already on it. If you painted the parts first and then cut out the parts in order to glue them the paint would often crack and fall off due to tension - extra work. Even if the paint would stay on the parts the glue to paint bond is stronger than glue to metal - parts would easily separate from the model. Please check out the new voiced version of the video: ua-cam.com/video/eTPiJ9OkvgM/v-deo.html
@@Vmssupplies Thanks....I understand....
My Flexy Glue is drying out already. Had it for about a month.

Can someone explain to me why it is that some enterprising company doesn’t sell put together PE parts? If I were a PE manufacturer I’d realize I’d sell a lot more of it if it were out together already. Having two jobs, two kids, two dogs , two car payments and mortgages does not lend itself to the countless hours spent on trying to bend microscopic parts. There’s a marketing idea!
There is an idea but I believe such parts would cost a fortune. Any hobby is a luxury that requires the most precious resource - time. I hope you can find more when the kids are older and the payments settled. 😉 Good luck!
Yeah okay so the other glue really held up but who in their right mind would be pulling on their photo etch details on their models like that sure as hell not me I'll stick to regular CA works for me
Hi Joe, You are right, nobody would punish a model like that, it's just for the sake of the demonstration. Thing is regular CA can get brittle over 24-48 h and one can lose parts accidentally while weathering or handling. This glue just gives us an edge and prevents that better, but it's in no way compulsory to use. :) Happy modelling, Chris
I feel like a complete fool, and who knows I may even actually be one, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to use the bottle. I mean, I unscrew the lid and it just comes off fully to reveal the tub opening. I know it says its a dropper bottle so the mistake is mine but what are you supposed to do? Cut the top? AAAARRRRRGHH!
I think the inner tube has been bonded to the outer lid - any tips?
You need to grip the lower part of the "cap" and twist the upper part it will twist right off - the packaging is composed of 3 parts - the bottle itself, dropper that goes on the bottle and the cap that goes on the dropper. The cap has a metal pin inside so it's very hard for it to be bonded to the dropper. Do not cut off any parts it was only required for the old style bottle. Chris
@@Vmssupplies Thanks Chris - great you got back on here! I see what you're saying and it all looks right. I think grip on such a small surface might be tricky but will maybe give the pliers a go. Cheers
but whos going to put it throughthat much stress ca glue is fine it holds
True, but this CA holds even better while some random CAs can give up during weathering or handling later on. Happy modelling, Chris
@@Vmssupplies oh i guess so maybe ile have to try it out thanks
@@jrqf8689 And thank you for your interest and commenting here! Chris
Gluing photo edged parts on a model isn't the problem keeping them on a specific part of a model is...

The music makes it unwatchable unfortunately.
I hear you, you can hit the mute button, and play your favourite music on a different tab, works for me. :) This is a good video that helped many a modeller, one of our firsts, newer have better background music . :)
Very, very good glue !!!
Glad you like it! Cheers, Chris
