Usage

A solvent-based cement suitable for plastic model kits only. The product is a low viscosity version of Humbrol Poly Cement to enable application by brush.

Substrate

Common plastics used to manufacture model kits including polystyrene and ABS. The product works by melting the plastic on application and 'welding' two glued pieces of plastic together to form a strong bond.

Coverage

Depends on thickness of application.

Application

Directly onto plastic model kits. An integral brush is supplied. A cocktail stick can be useful to apply sparingly to small areas or fine details.

Drying time

Surface dry in 10-20 minutes. Fully dry in 1 hour. Drying times will vary according to ambient temperature and humidity.

How to clean:

Can be removed if not fully dry by re-dissolving with more Liquid Poly or Poly Cement. Permanent once dry.

Enhances and protects foam models.

Look out for Deluxe Materials range of non-tacky finishing resin that have been specially designed for foam models.

Brush these highly adhesive resins onto foam models to improve appearance, surface toughness and protect vulnerable foam skin from damage.

May be used with glass cloth for an even tougher surface. They will also seal trim, decals and most paints and are over-paintable once dry.

These resins require no mixing, have little or no odour and will keep your models looking like new for longer.

Zap-O Foam Safe CA is a true odorless CA. It has the same gap filling properties as Zap-A-Gap CA+ but without the fumes. It works great on balsa, plywood, bass wood and most other modeling and hobby materials. Zap-O Foam Safe CA is also great for craft work when gluing foam shapes or various materials to foam products. Medium thick formula that cures in 15 seconds. Packaged in a 20-gram bottle. To cure properly, Zap-O Foam Safe CA must be used with Zap Foam Safe Kicker (PT-28).

Features

• odorless formula
• medium gap filling viscosity
• works on styrofoam and foam without primer
• works on balsa, plywood & other materials as well

Mr. Mark Setter is a decal adhesive. It is used to firmly attach decals to painted surfaces. It is particularly effective when used on old decals that have lost their adhesion or decals that do not have strong adhesive properties. It
also contains ingredients that soften decals.

Apply a small amount to the location where you want to attach the decal, and then place the decal on top of it. The adhesive bonds the decal to the painted surface, making it difficult to peel off even after drying. The decal is softened rapidly by the softening solvent, so if too much is applied, the decal itself may melt or the painted surface may be eroded. Applying it on top of an attached decal has some effect, but basically you should apply it under the decal.

This product is water-soluble. Adding water appropriately will dilute the effect of the solvent and prevent rapid softening. Depending on the painted surface and type of decal to be used, it is recommended to dilute with water before use. After applying the decal, lightly press the decal with a lightly dampened Mr. Cotton Swab, Mr. Clean Stick 2, or a dust-free cloth to ensure that the decal adheres firmly to the surface of the part. At that time, wipe off excess Mr. Mark Setter with water to prevent it from softening too much. Using a damp cotton swab or similar will neutralize the Mark Setter and prevent it from becoming too soft with the solvent.

If the decal is hard and does not soften easily, apply a small amount of MS231 Mr. Mark Softer onto the decal and work it in. Be careful not to apply too much.

If air bubbles get trapped between the decal and the part (silvering), after the decal has dried, carefully poke holes in the decal with a needle or craft knife. Then, by applying Mr. Mark Softer again, the decal will soften again, the air bubbles will disappear, and the decal will adhere firmly to the surface of the part.

One way to prevent silvering is to use a glossy surface on the surface onto which the decal will be applied.

The main ingredients used in the previous product have been changed to environmentally friendly ones and the product has been redesigned.

The changes made to the product are as follows:

• The adhesive has been changed from an emulsion resin adhesive to an acrylic resin adhesive. The adhesive performance is improved compared to the previous version. When applying a decal, even if you apply a gloss clear coat and then mask it, the decal is less likely to be taken away by the masking tape.
• Softening effect is now stronger than before.
• It has more dissolving power for water-based hobby colors than previous products. This is particularly noticeable when the drying time is short, so please dry thoroughly and avoid applying a large amount. If you use it, it is best to dilute the Mark Setter with water to reduce its dissolving power before use. Although this will depend on factors such as the drying time of the coating, the amount used, and how it is wiped off, a dilution of approximately 30% is a good guideline.

A high performance, yellow wood glue.

When cured, gives a higher bond strength than standard PVA.

Adheres to most hard wood, soft wood, MDF, balsawood, veneer, rigid cardboard and other porous material surfaces (not recommended for exotic wood).
