Product Information
Full details
Citadel Plastic Glue is an essential tool for hobbyists and miniature painters, specifically engineered for the precise assembly of plastic Citadel miniatures. By chemically welding plastic components together at a molecular level, it provides a permanent and robust bond that ensures your models remain sturdy during painting and tabletop play. While it offers excellent control and quick drying times, users must exercise caution as the chemical properties that bond plastic so effectively can cause surface damage if accidentally spilled or applied outside the intended contact points.

FAQs
Can I use this glue on resin models?
No, this is designed for plastic only. You should use a cyanoacrylate-based superglue for resin or metal miniatures.
Is this glue toxic?
It should be used in a well-ventilated area. Avoid contact with skin and eyes and do not ingest.
How long does it take to dry?
It dries very quickly, usually setting within a few minutes, though it is best to leave it to fully cure for a few hours before painting.
Can I paint over the glue?
Yes, once the glue has fully cured and dried, you can prime and paint over the bond without issue.
Does it work on wood or paper?
No, this is specifically formulated to react with polystyrene plastic.
Troubleshooting
The applicator nozzle is clogged.
Gently clear the tip with a thin needle or wire. If the clog is severe, you may need to carefully trim the very end of the nozzle.
Glue is stringing or clumping during application.
Ensure the cap is tightly secured when not in use. If the glue is old, its consistency may change, and you may need a fresh bottle.
Parts are not bonding together.
Check that the surfaces are not painted or primed. The glue must touch the raw plastic to create a chemical bond.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before using Citadel Plastic Glue, ensure your workspace is well-ventilated. Shake the bottle gently before use. To prepare your miniatures, use a hobby knife or clippers to remove parts from the sprue, ensuring you clean away any remaining plastic burrs for a flush fit. When finished, always wipe the applicator nozzle with a clean paper towel before replacing the cap to prevent the tip from sealing shut. Store the bottle in an upright position in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Note that this glue is strictly for polystyrene plastic; it will not work on resin, metal, or non-plastic materials, which require superglue or cyanoacrylate adhesives instead.
