Tamiya Extra Thin Cement And Tamiya Airbrush cleaner - The Truth
So we test the Theory That Tamiya Airbrush Cleaner and Tamiya Extra Thin Cement are the same product and do the Same Thing!! Cement plastic Together!! Tamiya Cement is a go to product for Model Kit Builders so its only worth testing the theory that tamiya airbrush cleaner can glue plastic parts together just as well as tamiya extra thin cement...
Have a watch and let me know if you would use Airbrush Cleaner to glue your plastic parts together, leave a comment below

I grab a bottle of Tamiya Airbrush cleaner and a bottle of Tamiya Extra Thin Cement and see if the Ingredients in the bottles are the same and if the airbrush Cleaner will cement parts together.
Since the video I now know its 50/50 mix with the cement and 51/49 mix for the cleaner

@AAWOLFE-zc6ly Год назад

here is my recipe for thin cement, which works exactly like Tamiya.... 50% lacquer thinner + 50% Acetone this will have much less odor than cellulose thinner/ lacquer thinner on its own, and less odor than Tamiya thin cement... the acetone facilitates fast clean evaporation, with some solvent power, the lacquer thinner is the stronger solvent that melts the plastic. enjoy ;O)

Saw the chemical breakdown of the two compared. They were 'near' identical. Not exact but so close its safe to call them the same.

Recently they seem to have gone up in price a bit and are increasingly hard to get in the UK - probably because people realised they can use it to top up their more expensive Tamiya extra thin bottles. The cheapest I can get one delivered is around £20 including shipping. I did have a look about for any other similar products that were cheaper or more available though, and one that looks promising is Mr Hobby Tool Cleaner. This also appears to be a mix of butyl acetate and acetone, but I found it for around £14 delivered for a 400ml bottle. That works out at I'm going to pull the trigger on some and see how well it works - I'm at a hobby fair tomorrow with lots of trade stands so hopefully one of them has a bottle - if not though I'm going to keep an eye out for other similar products.

If you glue up, before fitting the parts together, use normal Tamiya cement. The Extra Thin and Airbrush cleaner, is used by capillary reaction, hold the parts together, and add the Extra Thin / Airbrush cleaner to the small gap. This is only for use with pats that fits perfect together. If there are some gaps, use normal cement.

@kamui004 Год назад

It's Butyl acetate in the cleaner and extra thin. Ethyl Acetate 40%, Acetone 40% and 20% MEK is what's in the extra thin quick type. Where I live although some chemicals are regulated you can still get a liter of acetone for around £2 and Butyl acetate for £10. That makes 2 liters of airbrush cleaner/extra thin cement for £12. Ethyl Acetate is around the same £10 and MEK around £20 that would make 2.5 liters of quick type for £20 with some MEK leftover. And yes I've done both and they smell and work the same as the Tamiya ones.

I heard about this before and I like the idea very much, but there's a much cheaper method. I use plain acetone (1 litre, 5 €), fill it into an empty Tamiya Extra Thin bottle and add Styrofoam ("fluffy" styrene) till I got the consistancy I want. Of course, you want to use it carefully, because acetone could "eat" the styrene parts. The styorfoam helps with welding the parts together and makes the acetone less aggressive. One litre of acetone is 25 times the amount of one bottle of Tamiya Extra Thin. So I save 120 €.

If you buy Correction Fluid thinner (IF you can find it!@!) it also has the same ability to be used as a liquid cement with polystyrene parts. The difference between all 3 of them is the specific additives used in each, which varies. All I really care about is if it works at it's stated use. AND NOT if it is part of some "Giant Conspiracy" as touted by various idjits.

Nope there are no thickeners in those two tamiya products.. just two chemicals

@jeff72_ Год назад

Both products are solvent based, the Extra Thin works by melt action and fuses parts together rather than like a traditional glue which bonds parts together.

good answer

theyre the same product in 2 different containers.

Ok, the airbrush cleaner can be used as extra thin glue, but can the extra thin glue be used as airbrush cleaner! To clean my airbrush I use Createx Airbrush Restorer. Takes averything away, no matter how long the paint is there…

@MOS6510Models Год назад

I used Vallejo cleaner but if it’s really tough.. I use brush magic from deluxe materials

@timcampbell1830 Год назад

Well, yes, you can clean your airbrush with TET. It’s the same solvent. It’ll just cost you more.

@markkrumrey6238 Год назад

Save your money, go to your local hardware store and get a can of MEK Substitute, or MEK. (Methyl Ethyl Keytone) I have been using it for over 30 years.

@MOS6510Models Год назад

Yes.. thats the main ingredient to PVC cleaner too

@aliarslan3941 4 месяца назад

Does MEK glue the plastic by melting it? Is it like tamiya, MEK?

@bradleyjones5932 7 месяцев назад

just use the Tamiya cement to clean your airbrush, LOL

@MOS6510Models 7 месяцев назад

Good idea!

@lloydgarland4667 Год назад

you can do even better than that Mozzie, 1 litre of methyl ethyl ketone for 12 quid! Not quite the same chemical but does the exact same job. MEK was, and still is sold as model cement (Slaters) - I grew up using the stuff.

What's wrong with good old tube cement?😂

@raymonortiz3084 Год назад

When building models to enter into competition, practically all my model buddies don't use the old thick stuff. It can deform small parts. It can ooze out of joints causing extra work to clean it up. It cures slowly causing parts to misalign. I learned this from watching the experts build their models. Made sense to me. Happy modeling! ✌️🙂

I’ve tried to post the MSDS information from the Tamiya Germany website, but that comment keeps disappearing. They are not identical, but essentially so, to within 1% of each other. I've no idea why that is. Maybe it's more defensible to market them as two different products when they are recorded as being of a slightly different composition. Tamiya Extra Thin (TET) cement:

@MOS6510Models Год назад

i think thats why the cement can be be sold but the airbrush cleaner cant be sold in the uk...

@johnalecsscalemodeling Год назад

Hi Tim - you are spot on the MSDS would show what chemicals are present, in what relative proportion. And it should dictate what they have to put on the label. The same two chemical entities. They'd need an HPLC to tell the difference between 51%/49% and 49%/51%.

To save even more, just buy acetone or even lacquer thinner, whichever is cheaper. Butyl acetate has a higher boiling point, so I guess it is in there to extend the drying time.... For cleaning purposes, definitely just buy the cheap stuff, whichever solvent that is used in the paint, whether water or acetone or cellulose thinner or isopropyl alcohol

Then you completely misunderstand the point. Neither are a glue - both are essentially the same solvent. It won’t damage your airbrush. How do you think so many people use the Airbrush Cleaner with such success?

Honestly, you could have just shown the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for each one rather than guessing, or going off what you’ve heard, or anything like that. It’s not a conspiracy, or folklore or anything like that. It’s verifiable.

@jasonmonday3556 Год назад

This. Both bottles contain a 1:1 mix of acetone and butyl acetate. There's nothing to test.

@TheRalle100 Год назад

The MSDS (Sicherheitsdatenblätter in German) require only to include harmful or otherwise categorized material. So if Tamiya research testet something like Green tea (or any other unregulated substance)in in the extra thin its possible that it won't show up in the MSDS
