Why choose a specific plastic model glue?
Not all glues are suitable for the same materials or the same assemblies.
On a plastic model, it is often necessary to paste:
-
half-fuselages;
-
bodywork;
-
wings;
-
signs;
-
armored vehicles;
-
small parts that are difficult to access.
Glue that is too thick or applied in too large a quantity can cause damage. burrs, excess thickness or visible traces.
On the contrary, a precision glue allows you to deposit only the necessary quantity in the joint.
Why use Night Blue Cement in model making?
The particularity of EXSTRA THIN CEMENT NIGHT BLUE by Colle21/AmmoMig is its midnight blue coloring.
This color allows the modeler to immediately visualize the area where the glue has been deposited and to better control:
-
the quantity used;
-
the continuity of the joint;
-
areas already treated;
-
possible overflows.
This is particularly useful on gray or light plastic parts, where completely transparent glue may be more difficult to see during application.
How to use plastic model glue?
To obtain a clean assembly, it is important to work methodically.
1. Prepare the parts
Remove molding residue, dust and small imperfections that could prevent the two surfaces from fitting properly.
2. Make a blank edit
Position the parts without glue to check their fit before final assembly.
3. Apply a small amount of glue
Use the built-in brush to precisely deposit glue in the assembly area.
In modeling, a small amount of product is usually enough.
4. Adjust the parts
Once the glue is applied, position the elements correctly and immediately correct their alignment if necessary.
5. Let dry
Avoid handling the assembly before sufficient grip is achieved.
Blank assembly → precise application → adjustment → drying
How to avoid marks with plastic model glue?
The main advice is simple: avoid using too much product.
Excessive quantity can:
-
overflow the joint;
-
mark the surface;
-
hide small details;
-
complicate sanding;
-
make the finish less clean.
Using a fine brush and a sufficiently fluid glue allows you to precisely target the area to be assembled.
The midnight blue color of Night Blue Cement also provides an additional visual cue during application.
Cement or SUPER GLUE Colle21 cyanoacrylate?
The two types of glue are complementary.
For perfectly fitted plastic parts, Cement glue is particularly suitable for precision assemblies.
A SUPER GLUE Colle21 cyanoacrylate may however be preferable for certain assemblies involving:
-
metal;
-
photoetching;
-
resin;
-
different materials;
-
small parts requiring quick grip.
The most important thing is therefore to choose the glue according to the material and type of assembly.

Mistakes to avoid with plastic model glue
To achieve a clean finish, avoid:
-
applying too much glue;
-
to stick without checking the fit;
-
to overload the brush;
-
touch the cool area with your fingers;
-
handling parts too quickly;
-
to use the same glue for all materials.
In modeling, precision is often more important than the amount of glue used.
