Transpa Fix 6K FAQ
What's the best technique for precise application of the adhesive?
Use precision brush.
How effective is the adhesive?
One model requires around 0.1-0.3 ml of adhesive, since the bottle holds 30 ml it will last you forever.
The glue dries too quickly, produces strings and seems thick!
Add some Universal weathering carrier to slow drying and improve flow. Please use small amounts of the Universal weathering carrier as no glue is good when over-thinned.
How long does it take for the glue to harden?
Dispensed glue will be dry to touch in less than 1 hour but since it's trapped between plastic parts when applied allow 24-48 h for it to achieve durability.
How is this better than my other glues?
It's simple, this glue will not affect your clear or painted parts. While the usual modelling glues can cause plastic crazing or fogging Transpa Fix 6K will not, the photo below says is all:

Can I use the adhesive to cement PE to clear parts or acetate cut outs?
Yes, please remember to degrease PE parts using VMS Styrene Cement standard (fast) type.
Can I use the adhesive to cement clear parts to painted plastic?

The glue left some residue on the clear parts and model, how to remove it?
Please wipe the glue using a brush soaked with Universal weathering carrier light type.
What agent to use to clean brushes?
