Tamiya Extra Thin Cement is a widely popular glue among modelers around the world. You will find it in most modeler’s workshops. This version is the “quick setting” variant that dries around 4 times faster than the original Tamiya Extra Thin Cement, saving you time (and energy) holding parts in place! It also has less-tendency to seep out from part joints.
Like the consistently of the original Extra Thin Cement product, the Quick Setting version is highly liquid and able to flow into small cracks, making it useful for attaching parts in very tight spaces. It can also be used to attach parts which have been pre-fitted by hand.
 
Modeling Tip:
It is best to use the Quick Setting Extra Thin Cement when you are looking to glue parts together very quickly, in order to move onto the next step of the building process faster. It is also recommended that you are sure of your parts attachment and fit when using this faster setting glue. The Quick Setting Cement typically dries in under 10 seconds, whereas the standard Extra Thin Cement dries within 40 seconds of application.

Question
When breaking a plastic part, is it okay to use this as a quick fix? Or should I stick to the original extra thin cement?
Answer
It's definitely going to work a lot better than the original, though you'll still need to let the part sit for a few minutes. Really, the main difference between the quick-setting and original extra thin is just the time it takes to set, sometimes you need it to be faster if you're attaching multiple parts at a time (great with quick-setting!) and sometimes you need the extra wiggle room the regular affords to line a part up just right without it getting stuck in the wrong place (why they still make the original). If you need a REALLY fast fix, you can use Cyanoacrylate (CA) superglue but be warned it's much easier to damage the part, create a thin layer of film/fog on the part (potentially ruining clear parts), or bind your fingers if you aren't super careful; some people prefer it but I personally don't touch the stuff unless it's for photo-etch parts or clear parts in which case I prefer BSI Super-Gold+ but I've also heard good things about Madworks Clear.
