Reliable adhesion for challenging plastics - Tamiya 87211

The Tamiya 87211 kit is a practical choice for RC hobbyists who need to bond parts made from hard-to-glue materials like polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyacetal (POM) and EVA. The pack contains a 3g primer and a 3g CA cement, giving a simple way to improve adhesion on those specialised plastics.

Applying primer then CA for best results

For a strong join, brush a thin layer of primer onto the non-styrene component and let it dry fully before applying the CA cement to one mating surface. This sequence helps form a stable bond, including when joining these specialist plastics to standard styrene parts. Only treat the non-styrene surfaces with primer.

Where this set works well

This kit suits several RC uses:

  • Polypropylene (PP): Often found in Mini 4WD wheels and lightweight components.
  • Polyethylene (PE): Used in poly caps and parts from Educational Construction series wheels.
  • Polyacetal (POM): Common in Mini 4WD chassis bits and sliding parts.
  • EVA: Found in some soft military model tracks and padding elements.
Paint and coatings reduce adhesion. If possible, sand the coating back to bare plastic or test on a scrap piece first. Apply primer only to the unpainted non-styrene side for best results.
Drying varies with temperature and humidity but normally takes several minutes in a warm, ventilated area. Ensure the primer feels dry before adding CA to avoid weak joints.
Yes, the small 3g sizes are suitable for fine work. Use a careful, minimal application and hold parts steady until the bond sets to avoid excess glue on detail areas.
