VMS Flexy 5K CA Photo Etch Xt Thin VMS.CM07

VMS Flexy 5K Extra Thin CA Glue for Photo-Etched Parts VMS Flexy 5K Extra Thin CA Glue CM07 is a low-viscosity cyanoacrylate adhesive developed for attaching photo-etched details and other scale model components. This thinner version of VMS Flexy 5K is designed to flow into joints through capillary action, making it useful when parts need to be positioned before the adhesive is introduced. The formulation combines the flowing properties of an extra-thin adhesive with the flexible bond and extended working time associated with the Flexy 5K range. It is particularly useful for detailed assemblies where applying thicker glue directly between components can make accurate positioning more difficult. Extra-Thin Formula with Capillary Action The main advantage of VMS Flexy 5K Extra Thin is its low viscosity. The adhesive can flow into narrow joints by capillary action, reaching adjoining surfaces after components have been positioned. This allows modellers to place parts together first and then introduce the glue into the joint, rather than having to apply adhesive before alignment. Typical applications include: Attaching photo-etched metal details to scale models. Joining small components where accurate adhesive placement is important. Securing pitot tubes and cockpit instrumentation. Joining polystyrene and metal parts, including components that create tension. The extra-thin consistency also makes the adhesive suitable for fine, localised applications where control over the placement of glue is important. Flexible Bonds That Resist Brittle Breakage Conventional cyanoacrylate adhesives often cure to form hard, brittle joints. These can fracture when delicate model components are knocked or moved during construction. VMS Flexy 5K forms a bond that retains flexibility after curing. This helps attached details withstand handling and mechanical stress, reducing the likelihood that vulnerable components will detach. The flexible bond is particularly useful when working with photo-etched metal parts, which may experience movement or tension as other components are fitted around them. Extended Working Time for Accurate Assembly VMS Flexy 5K Extra Thin provides an extended open time of 150% compared with standard CA glue. This gives you more time to position and adjust parts during assembly. The formulation is also less aggressive towards plastic than conventional cyanoacrylate adhesives and is easier to remove when necessary. These properties make CM07 useful for detailed polystyrene and metal assemblies where precise positioning, capillary flow and a flexible finished joint are required. Supplied in a 20g dropper bottle, the adhesive provides an extra-thin alternative to thicker CA glues for detailed modelling work.
