Your PE parts under control! This CA glue forms flexible bond that withstands much more punishment than classic brittle CA. Thin varian that is looper friendly! VMS Flexy 5K Thin: Capillary action CA glue! Photo-etched parts are a great way to add detail to your models, still in isn't always easy to position and affix them them well. General use CA bonds too quickly to position the parts well, forms brittle bond and attacks plastic. Flexy 5k is the opposite of standard CA + it comes in 20 gr bottle! FORMULATED FOR CAPILLARY ACTION... ...TO GET INTO TRICKY AREAS ...WHEN YOU NEED THE GLUE ...AND BE INVISIBLE! Flexy 5k thin allows you to glue delicate PE parts via capillary action and the resulting flexible bond is way more durable and less brittle. Glue finds it's way better than Flexy 5K original + bonds are more subtle. Flexible CA bond! Have you ever lost or have to re-glue some PE parts during painting or weathering or maybe just by accident why manipulating your model? If so this glue is for you! Flexible bond created with Flexy 5k withstands much more punishment than classic brittle CA. This essentially means less accidentally lost parts and more productive and enjoyable work as there is much less need to reglue more vulnerable parts such as antennas, clamps, clasps, wing nuts and the like. 1.25x longer manipulation time and looper friendly! Extended open time of our photo etch glue (125% the standard CA) allows for good positioning of PE parts. You will also be able to glue tricky parts (both PS and metal) that produce tension. Glueing metal to metal works fine as well and this thin glue is looper friendly. Dispensed glue is "live" for over 30 minutes! Not aggressive towards PS Flexy is less aggressive and more easily removed when necessary it doesn't "eat plastic" as classic CAs. therefore it is more easily removed when needed. Most of the time simple scrubbing followed by some sanding will do and de bonders will do even better job! VMS Flexy Thin PRODUCT SUMMARY This is a thinner version of widely acclaimed Flexy 5K glue, thanks to its formulation this glue can be easily used via capillary action. Glue is also more looper friendly than thicker types. As the original Flexy 5K glue forms flexible bond that withstands much more punishment than classic brittle CA. This essentially means less accidentally lost parts and more productive and enjoyable work as there is much less need to reglue vulnerable parts. Extended open time (125% the standard CA) allows for good positioning of the parts. You also will be able to glue tricky parts (both PS and metal) that produce tension. Flexy is less aggressive and more easily removed when necessary it doesn't "eat plastic" as classic CAs. Recommended techniques: apply with wire, "looper" tool Combine with: polystyrene and PE Available volumes: 20 gr dropper bottle Add to Cart See Flexy 5K PE in action! Flexy 5k PE Thin FAQ What's the best technique for precise application of the glue? Dispense a portion of photo-etch glue on a piece of styrene, glass or a metal sheet, never on cardboard as it will absorb your glue. Have a 10 cm long piece of straight brass or steel wire ready, its Ø 0.5-1 mm. The wire will act as your renewable glue applicator. Dip the tip of a brass or steel wire in the blob and then touch it to a PE part or the model itself. Bring the parts together. That's that! Now cut the tip of your applicator wire with your trusty modelling knife or better side cutters to start anew with a clean tip. Small parts can be held with tweezers and dipped in the blob without resorting to the wire. I have dispensed a portion of the glue as per instruction, how long till it becomes useless? A blob of glue is good about 45 minutes after it was dispensed. It gets thicker overtime. For best results and to conserve your glue dispense smaller blobs to always have a small amount of fresh glue at your disposal. I have misaligned my PE part and want to reposition it! Slide the tip of your hobby knife between the parts to separate them. Once the parts come apart scrub the remaining glue in the same manner, try sliding the tip between the glue remains and the part from the side, the glue will give in. PS may need some sanding after the procedure. You can also use VMS Debonder. I want to create a stronger metal to metal joint! To make a metal to metal joint stronger simply sand the more demanding parts such as tank skirts (schurzen) barrels etc. By doing so you will achieve the following: remove the patina, remove possible dip coatings some PE manufacturers apply over the frets, give the glue better adhesion thanks to the altered surface. Use 600 - 1000 grade paper and sand only the spots that will accept the glue. Joints created this way are up to 50% stronger than smooth, not sanded metal which can be problematic if unprepared. When you sand your brass fret you will see the change in colour, it's a sign of a well prepared surface. Please note: even apparently pristine frets are covered with some patina, it's natural for the brass to form a layer of it over time. If you can't see it it doesn't mean it's not there same goes for dip coatings. There are problems with the joints I've created! Fingerprints and any other residue don't help your cementing! Make sure you degrease surfaces and sand the more difficult metal parts if necessary to remove brass patina and/or dip coatings. Degreasing can be conducted with simple dish washing fluid for plastic parts. Metal can be degreased with dish washing fluid but you can also use more aggressive chemicals such as acetone which evaporates very quickly and requires no drying. We advise you degrease metal parts with VMS Styrene Cement (standard type) which is a solvent blend and degreases better than basic chemicals (pure acetone). What's the shelf life of the glue? Old formula (oval bottle, round bottle without pin in cap): Opened bottle can last 12-16 months and more (if stored in the fridge, opaque box). Unopened bottle will be good for 16-24 months and more, provided it's stored in temperature below 10 °C or lower (fridge, opaque box). Glue can be refrigerated but can't be frozen. Shelf life very much depends on usage, that is how often you open and use the glue so the figures given will vary. Storage in temperatures higher than 15 °C and sunlight will decrease the shelf life. New formula (round bottle with pin in cap): Opened bottle can last 12-24 months and more (if stored in the fridge, opaque box). Unopened bottle will be good for 24-36 months and more, provided it's stored in temperature below 10 °C or lower (fridge, opaque box). Glue can be refrigerated but can't be frozen. Shelf life very much depends on usage, that is how often you open and use the glue so the figures given will vary. Storage in temperatures higher than 15 °C and sunlight will decrease the shelf life. My glue bottle contents seem low? Yes, that's no mistake, all bottles are filled at around 1/2 of their capacity. The amount of glue will last an average modeller a 1.5-2 years. After that time it's a advised to acquire a new bottle due to the glue ageing. Bottle contents is 20 gr. BACK

Airbrush Thinners 2.0 Acrylic FAQ Manufacturer recommends their own thinner for best results, won't 3rd party thinner like this cause problems? Not really. Manufacturers simply want to ensure that their paints produce best results possible. Who can blame them? The warning you can see on your paint bottle is more of a precaution as people often experiment when it comes to paint thinning. Experiments may cause many issues with coat quality or painting experience - the warning makes sense here. VMS Thinners were extensively tested therefore experimentation is not a case. The warning doesn't apply to specialist, broad spectrum, properly tested thinners - you may go ahead and use VMS thinners with specified brands. Broad spectrum thinners that can work with just any acrylic paint? Sure they can, it is all about the right composition. Our acrylic thinner formula contains 2 functional groups - ether and alcohol to make sure it can work great with any water-based acrylics out there. Solvent-based acrylics? Aren't all acrylics supposed to be water-based? Most of acrylics are water-based which makes them healthier and non flammable. Still some acrylic resin based paints like Gunze® C series for instance employ volatile solvents instead of water. These are called solvent-based acrylics and are incompatible with water-based thinners. Do I need special equipment to formulate? Not really, simple measuring cups will do the trick, all you need to be able to do is mix the concentrated products in appropriate ratios. To prepare the thinner using concentrate you will need to take 2 parts of concentrate and 3 parts of distilled water and mix it. You don't even need to know how much liquid (in millilitres) there is in a cup all that matters is the ratios, if the ratios are OK so is the end product. IMPORTANT: Parts are measured by volume not weight. FORMULATING AN EXACT AMOUNT: Divide the target volume by 5, the result is your part size. For instance let's say you want to prepare 200 ml of thinner. We divide 200 by 5 which is 40. One part is in this case 40 ml. You will therefore need 80 ml of concentrate (2 parts, 40 ml each) and 120 ml of water (3 parts, 40 ml each). These are chemicals, won't I get burned or start a fire? Our concentrates are based on non flammable chemicals which are not corrosive. They might however irritate your eyes or skin if you are not careful but this is the case with any cleaner or thinner out there. To be safe, simply avoid contact with skin and eyes while you are formulating your products. If you get some of the concentrate on your skin or in your eyes simply rinse it with plenty of water and that's that. Do I always need distilled water to formulate? Always use distilled water while formulating acrylic thinners so that the paint retains is quality. Tap water is fine for formulating acrylic cleaning products, using distilled water for cleaners is a waste. :) I don't know about all this formulation, what if do something wrong? You can't, products come with clear formulation guidelines, if you can read model plans (way more complicated) you can formulate. ;) BACK

Available volumes: 30 ml dropper bottle, 200 ml refill Add to Cart UNIVERSAL weathering carrier FAQ Standard type specific : What's the difference between STANDARD and LIGHT variants of the carrier? STANDARD variant is compatible with all enamel products and binders on the market and must be used over acrylic coats. If you paint your models with acrylics go with carrier STANDARD. LIGHT variant is only compatible with VMS weathering binders and artist's oils but can be used over classic enamel paint coats. Go with LIGHT if you painted your model with enamels (tinlets, glass jars) and want to do some weathering without damaging the coat. I have just painted my model with my acrylic paint, how long before I can start weathering? Paint must be properly cured. Paint dry to touch is not enough even so it appears good to go. The solvents are still dissipating and the resins (binders) hardening, it is far from cured. Wait minimum 12h, optimally 24h or longer before weathering over an acrylic coat! A patient modeller is always rewarded: The longer you wait the stronger the coat an less the chance of damaging it with solvents used while weathering! I am using white spirit for my weathering will, this do the trick? Yes, this hydrocarbon complex is very similar to your modelling or artist's white spirit when it comes to purity and evaporation rates. It has finely tuned aliphatic to aromatics ratio to ensure it works fine work with any classic and modern enamel product. Works with enamels and oils alike. I am using odourless turpentine for my weathering, will this work? Yes, this product can be used just as odourless turpentine. What kind of SFX will I be able to produce? All the types you would otherwise produce with white/mineral spirits and turpentine variants. Examples include washes, streaking, blending, spatter and the like. For best results use this product with VMS Alkyd and ENML 2.0 binders. Use with dry pigments without binders is possible. Can I use this product to work with oils? Yes. If odour is a factor important to you oils work great with LIGHT variant of UNIVERSAL weathering carrier which has lower odour. Standard is best used with enamel products. Light type specific : I have just painted my model with my enamel paint, how long before I can start weathering? Paint must be properly cured. Paint dry to touch is not enough even so it appears good to go. The solvents are still dissipating and the resins (binders) hardening, it is far from cured. Wait minimum 24h, optimally 72h or longer before weathering over an enamel coat! A patient modeller is always rewarded: The longer you wait the stronger the coat an less the chance of damaging it with solvents used while weathering! What's the recommended contact time with an enamel coat? During our test 30 minutes long exposure was not an issue. The better cured a coat the longer you can work on it. Although the product is very mild and doesn't readily cause damage we advise using hair drier when the job is done to remove the excessive carrier. I am using white spirit for my weathering will, this do the trick? Yes, it will but only if you work with ENML 2.0, Alkyds or oils. This carrier doesn't mix with classic enamel paints in tinlets but has the advantage of being much less damaging to your enamel based coats. While white spirit or classic turpentine cause immediate paint cracking and shrivelling of and enamel coat this carrier doesn't. Will my enamel base coat withstand this product? What are compatible brands? Base coats done with products by the following companies are OK to work on: Humbrol®, Revell®, Model Master®. Tamiya® enamel base coats are incompatible! I am using odourless turpentine for my weathering, will this work? Yes, this product can be used just as odourless turpentine when you work with ENML 2.0, Alkyds and oils. Not to be mixed with classic enamels though! Can I use this product to work with oils? Yes. If odour is a factor important to you go with LIGHT variant of UNIVERSAL weathering carrier which has lower odour. What kind of SFX will I be able to produce? All the types you would otherwise produce with white/mineral spirits and turpentine variants. Examples include washes, streaking, blending, spatter and the like. For best results use this product with VMS Alkyd and ENML 2.0 binders. Use with dry pigments without binders is possible. There is a blue ENML icon on my UNIVERSAL weathering carrier LIGHT, does that mean I can mix it with enamels in tinlets? Universal weathering carrier STANDARD and LIGHT share the same label. Although there is the blue icon on a bottle with LIGHT variant it can't be mixed with enamels. When in doubt check the web page description. To be able to tell your variant look at the back of the bottle - appropriate marking is found there. BACK

Recommended techniques: Airbrush and brush Combine with: All brands of water-based acrylics Available volumes:30 ml dropper bottle, 200 ml refill Add to Cart Airbrush Thinners 2.0 Acrylic FAQ Manufacturer recommends their own thinner for best results, won't 3rd party thinner like this cause problems? Not really. The warning you can see on your paint bottle is a precaution as people often experiment when it comes to paint thinning. Experiments may cause all sorts of problems with coat quality and overall painting experience. VMS Thinners were extensively tested therefore experimentation is not a case. The warning doesn't apply as we made sure that you won't experience any problems while using our thinner. Therefore you may go ahead and use VMS thinners with water-based acrylics. Broad spectrum thinners that can work with just any acrylic paint? Sure they can, it is all about the right composition. Our acrylic thinner formula contains 2 functional groups - ether and alcohol to make sure it can work great with any water-based acrylics out there. Solvent-based acrylics? Aren't all acrylics supposed to be water-based? Most of acrylics are water-based which makes them healthier and non flammable. Still some acrylic resin based paints like Gunze® C series for instance employ volatile solvents instead of water. These are called solvent-based acrylics and are incompatible with water-based thinners. There is an IFormulator icon on my thinner refill bottle, does that mean I can formulate? Solution and concentrate share the same label. Please look at the back on the bottle and check your variant - only "concentrate" denoted products can be used for formulation. BACK
