Reviews : Testors Liquid Plastic Cement 1 oz

This stuff isn’t bad. It seems to be basically the same stuff as Tamiya extra thin glue (at least it smells the same). It also works just as well. It’s especially good for dry fitting two pieces together then applying a small amount to the seam. It will wick into the tiny little crack, and in about 20-40 seconds you’ll have a nice bond with little to no mess. The big differences between Testors and the Tamiya glues, is that you get about 1/3 less glue in the Testor’s bottle, the Testors bottle is taller making spills more likely, and it also has a much larger applicator brush making precision application quite a bit harder.

I have been using the Tamiya Extra Thin glue which is a great glue I love it. However about a year ago I was at my local hobby store talking to the resident model guru I noticed he was using this Testors glue. I asked him why he didn’t use the Tamiya thin glue he said he did but this worked just as good as the Tamiya product and much cheaper. Well I bought a couple bottles and it does work just as well but has a slower drying time so unless I need a super fast drying glue I use this and have no complaints.

This cement is sparingly applied to 2 surfaces of plastic, with a brush or a drop-applicator, and it essentially welds them together, by partially dissolving the plastic; when it has cured, it's almost as if there was only one piece of plastic. I was happily surprised at how well it works, for a product that has been around seemingly ages. In addition to working well, it comes in a safety-capped bottle and provides a brush applicator. It's also a reasonably priced product in the 1 ounce bottle category.

I'm getting back in to the hobby after a 25 year absence (raising kids, don't yah know), and I can't imagine building models without my testers glue. Does anyone besides me remember when it came in the square jar? I always remove the brush that comes with the bottle and use a fine paintbrush to apply the glue. The glue dries from the brush with no trace. Sometimes the bristles stick together a little, but a finger is all that's needed to break it up.

This works great, love the big bottle for dipping tools into to get just the right amount of cement on my various applicators. Works rather quick on thinner styrene and sets up quickly, too, if used in light amounts. Forms a strong bond. I use it for scratch-building parts for my airplane kits. I recommend it but it is becoming scarce as Testors has apparently discontinued all of their product line. Get it while you can and enjoy the results!

This is the first time I have used any type of liquid plastic cement with any success. Just trying to get used to using this instead of the tube glue. I do alternate between both this and the tube version though as I find the liquid helps when placing small pieces such as ladders on the waterline ships. Will want to try using this product with an applicator in the future.

This cement is thinner than the tube cement but faster to apply since you don't have to wait for it to pour out. The brush on the cap provides better application control. I prefer the Tamiya over this one since this bottle is tall and thin and I fell like I am going to knock it over. The Tamiya bottle is shorter and wider providing a more stable base.

I have just started building models again after a 20 year break. I tried to use the tube glue on the detailed parts on my 1/35 armor models. I ended up getting squeeze out and glue where I did not want it. I remembered using this liquid cement and ordered a bottle. I could not be happier with the results. I am using it almost exclusively on my models now.

It's a great glue for attaching window glazing as it doesn't seem to fog them. I don't like it for normal glueing as it is so thin it seeps through any little opening and cause damage to the part. I use it for windows but I'll stick to Plastruct Plastic Weld for other plastics. I tried this because Hobbylinc was out of the Plastruct when I needed it.

The cement does a fantastic job of welding parts together, a touch thicker then Tamaya Extra Thin so does not run quite as much which can be good in some situations. The problem is the supplied brush is really bad with bristles sticking out in all directions, so is cumbersome to apply in a clean fashion.

I have been using this glue since the late 70s when I first started building models. This is, and always has been a very good model glue. Testors Liquid Plastic Cement should be in all model builders supplies, whether you are working on Military, Civilian, or even Model Trains, always keep it near by.

This is the absolute worst glue I have ever used. First the brush that is comes with was so mangled that it was unusable. The capillary action of the glue was non existent and it took forever to glue 2 pieces of styrene together. I will never buy this glue again.

Have been this glue for years. It's holding strength is excellent. With a pin or tooth pick you have excellent control of placement. Also wicks into the joints where to pieces of plastic are joined together. Get some, you will be pleased.

I have two favorite liquid cements, and this is one of them. The brush is wider than Tamiya Cement, and the cement is thicker. It is great for wider areas where you want more coverage. It sets quickly, and the bond is strong.

This is so worth it for the price I bought the smallest bottle because I only had one kit to build and the bottle is still almost completely full! Holds very well and dries completely clear you can’t even see it.

Just as good as the Tamiya liquid cement, just with a larger applicator brush. Dry time is pretty fast, and removes a lot of the mess that can be associated with glue in the tubes.

I use this product to thin Bondo brand auto glazing putty to smooth seams on polystyrene and resin scale models of all types. Wonderful product at a good price.

one of my favorite testor product fast cure time like 2 hours good bonding doesnt cause glue globs on connection areas, really thin as well

Just OK. I found the internal brush to a little to large. So, I cut it off. And, used an old paint brush. The hold was pretty good.

This is my choice for styrene. Works great with Evergreen products. Use to build car sides ala Cannon & Co.

It 's a good cement, very liquid, flows real fine, great for individual tracks. Only con it's kind smelly.

I use this glue all of the time for making custom trailers for trucks. Works great.

Great cement to get the job done. Not to runny or thick

Very good product. Sets up quickly and is very strong.
