VMS Transpa Fix 6K is a specialized adhesive designed specifically for clear plastic parts. Unlike typical styrene or CA glues that can damage delicate clear parts, or classic clear part adhesives that are irreversible, Transpa Fix 6K allows for perfect handling, repositioning, and clean results. The adhesive is incredibly versatile and gives you the time you need to accurately position your clear components without the risk of fogging, cracking, or permanent damage.
Key Features:
- Ideal for Clear Parts: Specially formulated to bond clear plastic parts (like windows, lenses, and light covers) without damaging or fogging them.
- Extended Working Time: No more rushed positioning. With Transpa Fix 6K, you have all the time you need to adjust and place your parts before the adhesive sets.
- Easy to Remove Excess Adhesive: Any excess adhesive can be easily cleaned up, leaving behind a smooth, flawless bond.
- No Crazing or Fogging: Unlike traditional styrene or CA glues, this product does not cause plastic crazing or fogging on clear parts, ensuring perfect clarity and finish.
- Flexible Application: It is compatible with both acrylic and enamel painted models without damaging the paint or leaving marks.
How to Use:
- Best Application Method: Apply with a precision brush for clean, accurate control, especially for small or delicate parts.
- Thinning: If the glue dries too quickly or is too thick, simply add a small amount of VMS Universal Weathering Carrier (Light Type) to improve flow and slow the drying process. Avoid over-thinning.
- Drying Time: The glue will be dry to the touch in less than 1 hour. However, since it is trapped between clear parts, allow 24-48 hours for the bond to fully cure and gain maximum strength.
