Selection of VSM Flexy CA Glues
Photo-etched parts are a great way to add detail to your models, but it isn't always easy to position and affix 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!
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.
Extended open time of our photo etch glue (150% 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. Gluing metal to metal works fine as well, please look at the photo on the top left of the screen, lamp guard on this tank was made out of copper wire. Segments were glued together with just the Flexy 5k, no soldering was needed, metal to metal adhesion is great and the bond durable! Dispensed glue is "live" for over 45 minutes!
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, no debonders needed.

VMS Flexy Resin PRODUCT SUMMARY
This is a resin dedicated version widely acclaimed Flexy 5K. Thanks to its formulation this glue can be used for gluing demanding resin parts that require a lot of manipulation and extra strong bond. The formula of VMS Flexy 5K Resin is optimised for thermoplastics so you can also glue multimedia models no problem, resin to polystyrene bonds will be as durable resin to resin ones. 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 that produce tension. For best results prepare parts with VMS Styrene Cement (standard type) prior application of the actual CA glue. Combine with: resin to resin. Recommended techniques: Apply with wire
FLEXY 5K CA contact adhesive for 3D printed models
Glue for PLA resin and 3D printed models. Thanks to its formulation this glue can be used for gluing demanding 3D printed parts that require a lot of manipulation and extra strong bond. The formula of VMS Flexy 5K 3d is optimised for thermoplastic, including PLA resin so you can also glue multimedia models no problem, resin to polystyrene bonds will be as durable resin to resin ones. 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 (135% the standard CA) allows for good positioning of the parts. You also will be able to glue tricky parts that produce tension. For best results prepare parts with VMS Universal weathering carrier prior application of the CA glue. Combine with: 3D printed parts. Recommended techniques: Apply with wire
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
VMS Flexy Slow PRODUCT SUMMARY
This is a much slower version of widely acclaimed Flexy 5K glue, thanks to its formulation this glue can be used for gluing parts that require a lot of adjustment such as photo-etched Zimmerit sheets, metal panels, armour plating and the like. 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 (500% the standard CA) allows for very smooth 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. Combine with: Photo-etched + polystyrene.
