Anyone have experience with it?
Impressions?
Thank you

New to me. Revell Contacta medium in the needle nose bottle performs excellently, so I’d buy a bottle of this to try out.

the needle can become blocked but it is east to fix using the flame from a cigarette lighter.

This is a different Revell liquid cement very similar to Tamiya Extra Thin. It comes with a brush not with a needle.
Different picture, there’s a couple pictures of Revell Extra Thin.

Saw a review of this on YouTube, it said it works just as well as Tamiya but has a bigger brush so not so easy to apply in small quantities.

Both brushes are too big,
ignore the brush-in-the-cap-horror
and use a cheap very fine pointed brush instead.
Easier to grip and maneuver into tight spots.

Have considered this often. What can you use to clean the brush?

All of the Testor’s Liquid Cement, Tamiya Extra Thin, Micro-Weld, Tenax 7R, Plastistruct type cements I’ve used didn’t really leave anything in the brush. Fresh LC would remove any plastic residue etc.
Have had quality brushes hold up 10+ years etc.

If it is pure solvent it evaporates, and it evaporates quickly which is why it must be added to an already closed joint. Painting it on first and then trying to get the parts into the correct position
simply Does Not Work.
If, sorry WHEN, I manage to get dissolved styrene into the brush I just clean it in the solvent bottle, this adds a small amount of “solids” to the solvent but it doesn’t make any noticeable difference.
That is really the beauty of this method, spend as much time as needed on getting the parts aligned and the joints tight and then ZAP the joint with solvent. Hold together for maybe 20 seconds and set it aside. If the joint is under tension (warped parts) it must be held together for
a minute or two.
Whatever you do: Do Not Spill the bottle over the parts, they will turn into goo …
I think the operative word should be didn’t (actually two words: did + not)

My problem is growing the third arm for the brush while my first two are holding the parts in perfect alignment!

Maybe you could learn from these artists?

I use Tamiya Extra Thin and I hold them for about a minute, then clamp or lay aside for about 5 minutes for them to fully cure. Especially Figures. And the Tamiya brush takes a learning curve-like unloading a lot of the cement back into the bottle.
I’ve binned a lot of planes when I etched my fingerprints into fuselage and wing halves,

I simply cut half the bristles off when I open a new bottle of Tamiya Extra Thin. Works fine that way.

Yes! I use Tamiya Extra Thin Quick Setting and wicking the brush on the edge of the bottle is an important and constant step.
