Well said!
Ahoy JerB,
I was not pleased when Tenax 7R went away. But I found two products that claim to be Tenax 7R reborn.
Micro-Mark has a Tenax 7R replacement called âSame Stuffâ. You can Google âMicro-Mark Same Stuffâ and or you can go to Amazon and enter âsame stuff plastic weldâ in their search and you will find it.
Micro-Mark says its the same formula as Tenax. Iâve used it and it works fine.
Thereâs also a product called Styrene Tack-It II that says it is Tenax 7R under a new name. You can find it here:
I have this product also and it works fine too.
Iâve never used MEK as a plastic cement and think that if youâre looking for a dedicated plastic cement to replace Tenax, then one of the to above would be a good choice.
Good Luck
Sorry guys. I didnât realize this was such an old post when I responded to it. Info is still good if anyone is looking for a Tenax replacement.
Tamiya Extra Thin,green cap works for me.
Tamiya Extra Thin for me at the moment too, until I run out. Probably going to try MEK once that happens, since I always have plenty of that. I saw the drama in the old discussion. MEK is really no more dangerous than any other chemical that is going to melt plastic. Just use the same practices you use to protect yourself from the other chemicals you use in modeling and youâll be fine. Just a hint if you ever use it for cleaning airbrush parts like I do. The best way to pull the parts out of the MEK after theyâre cleaned is just to put on latex gloves and use your hands. Donât use vinyl gloves thoughâŚthose will meltâŚlatex wonât.
You guys know this post is like 5 years old right? [;)]
Yeah,good info is always good info.Besides,itâs good to see some traffic here.
