GAMERS: It does not matter what figurine or miniature games you like to build, from Warhammer, Game Workshop, or D&D (Dungeons and Dragons) Plasti-Zap will bond the your miniatures for a full-on battle. Most plastic modeling projects can be assembled with PLASTI-ZAP and very small amounts of ZIP KICKER. The special formula in PLASTI-ZAP allows it to screen out any mold release agents resulting in a permanent bond in 15 to 30 seconds. The joint can be filed and sanded in a minute or so, allowing extra fast assembly.
Hobby Model Builders: Consider making the cockpit in your RC Aircraft super scale with plastic dials and other accessories. RC Car parts will be bonded perfectly with Plasti-Zap. Model Train parts are easily added to your model with ease using the brush-on applicator.
Helpful Hints: Apply small drops of PLASTI-ZAP to one surface only then mate the parts. For large or long seams apply small drops 1/4 to 1/2 inches apart, one side only, along the entire seam, then join parts. Be careful to keep your fingers away from the glued joints until cured, this glue will bond your skin instantly to your model. For bonding chrome parts, scrape the chrome off of the bonding areas then apply the glue to one side only. If you want to use ZIP KICKER, apply very small amounts with a fine brush or tooth pick. You do not need to apply kicker to the entire joint. For critical applications test sample joints for designed strength requirements.
Uses: POLY-ZAP is a specialty CA adhesive developed for use on today’s newer plastics such as lexan and delrin. Lexan is one of the more difficult plastics to bond, and POLY-ZAP was developed to solve that problem. POLY-ZAP also works with delrin, polycarbonate, ABS, styrene, nylon, starboard (marine board HDPE) and most acrylics. It works on may types of films and painted surfaces.
Hobby: Poly-Zap is perfect for today’s ARF type models. ABS cowls, canopies, lexan car bodies, fiberglass repair, model boat parts, and automotive trim are just a few of the many applications for POLY-ZAP.
Outdoor: Boat accessories and outdoor displays can be designed with the use of starboard plastic (marine board HDPE). This plastic holds up marine environments such as UV rays, moisture and other outdoor environmental conditions.
Helpful Hints: Apply small drops of POLY-ZAP to one surface only then mate the parts. For large or long seams apply small drops 1/4 to 1/2 inches apart, one side only, along the entire seam, then join parts. Be careful to keep your fingers away from the glued joints until cured, this glue will bond your skin instantly to your model. To prevent fogging of clear parts do not use an accelerator. If you want to use ZIP KICKER, apply very small amounts with a fine brush or tooth pick. You do not need to apply kicker to the entire joint. When repairing fiberglass, spread POLY ZAP evenly over the entire area and let cure. For critical applications test sample joints for designed strength requirements.

Dental: Articulators, pins, bases and repairing models are all places where Zap-A-Gap shines. The medium viscosity does not run all over the model, while still giving excellent glue penetration in to gypsum models. Plastic articulators can be very difficult to bond, just a couple of drops of Zap-A-Gap will make sure that the model holds up for your client. Pairing the Zap-A-Gap with Zip kicker will move the case along ultra fast for quick turn arounds.
Helpful Hints: A little goes a long way! More glue doesn’t always mean a stronger joint. Only apply enough glue to evenly coat the area to be bonded when the parts are joined. Many times glue needs to be applied only to one part. Working or positioning time will vary depending on the material. Even though ZAP-A-GAP CA+ is a gap filling formula, some of it will wick into porous materials. For porous products you may have to apply more glue to get the strongest bond, it would be best to try bonding some test pieces to determine the proper amount. For modeling applications where a small fillet is desirable, bond the parts and let the glue set, then go back and create the fillet, use kicker to immediately set the glue. For critical applications test sample joints for the designed strength requirements.

Dental: Use Zap gel to adhere stone models to articulators. Consider using Zap gel for repairs such as a stone to stone application. The super thick viscosity will not wick into the stone.
Helpful Hints: ZAP GEL has the maximum gap filling formula, it will fill open pockets in porous woods and materials with one application. To speed the cure time ZIP KICKER may be sprayed on the joint after the glue has been applied. When forming a fillet or filling a large gap spray ZIP KICKER directly on the glue, it will start to harden immediately first forming a hard outer shell with the inside curing at a slower rate creating an extremely strong bond. When using on fiberglass cloth or fabric spread it across the material with an old playing card, business card, or a soft plastic spreader. The curing time will vary depending on the thickness of the glue. When spread out thinly it will cure much faster than a thick bead. For critical applications test sample joints for designed strength requirements.
USES: ZAP GOO bonds wood to fiberglass, metal to wood, plastic to metal, just about anything to anything with a strong flexible bond.
