Product Information
Full details
The VMS Flexy 5K Resin Model Glue (CM08) is designed for modelers working with resin parts who need a strong, flexible bond. This glue provides a longer open time and a flexible bond that withstands more handling than standard CA glues, resulting in less part breakage and more efficient work. However, proper surface preparation is key for optimal adhesion.

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of VMS Flexy 5K?
The primary benefit is its flexible bond, which is designed to withstand more stress and handling compared to standard CA glues, reducing the likelihood of parts breaking.
What is the open time for this glue?
The open time is approximately 125% longer than standard CA glues, allowing for better positioning of parts before the glue sets.
What materials is this glue compatible with?
This glue is specifically designed for resin model parts.
What is the recommended surface preparation?
It is recommended to prepare the resin surfaces with VMS Styrene Cement before applying the Flexy 5K glue for optimal results.
How should I store the glue?
Store the glue in a cool, dry place and keep the container tightly sealed when not in use.
What should I do if the glue gets on my skin?
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Work in a well-ventilated area. If contact occurs, wash thoroughly with soap and water.
Can this glue be used on parts under tension?
Yes, it is suitable for bonding parts that exert some level of tension when joined together.
Troubleshooting
Parts are not bonding securely.
Ensure parts are clean and properly prepared with VMS Styrene Cement. Apply a sufficient amount of glue, and allow enough time for it to set.
Glue is drying too quickly.
Ensure you're working in a moderate temperature environment. Make sure you are not applying to thick layers.
Glue is not adhering to the surface.
Make sure surfaces are clean. Consider lightly sanding the surfaces to create a better bond.
