What is Silicone Glue?

This silicone glue - clear glue, known for its flexibility and transparency, is crafted from silicone polymers and used for creating strong bonds between various materials. It is particularly effective on PVC, resins, transparent plastics, plasticard, wood, PLA plastic from 3D printing, and EVA foam. Unlike sealants designed for filling gaps, this type of product focuses on bonding materials with precision and a clear finish. Its slower drying time compared to cyanoacrylate adhesives makes it a preferred choice for intricate or detailed projects, ensuring both durability and ease of use. It also excels in maintaining a clean, professional appearance, especially on clear surfaces.

It is also excellent for bonding all types of clear plastics where a cyanoacrylate would create a whitish stain, e.g. bonding clear plastic miniature bases, aircraft cockpits, and weapon effects helping to maintain a clean and professional look.

How to Remove Silicone Glue?

To remove this type of adhesive, a careful approach is essential. Start by scraping away excess material using a non-abrasive tool like a plastic scraper. If the bond is particularly strong, applying a solvent such as isopropyl alcohol or acetone can help soften it. Once softened, gently rub the area with a cloth to lift any remaining residue. For delicate surfaces, consider testing the solvent on an inconspicuous spot to avoid potential damage. If necessary, specialized removers designed for this purpose can offer additional assistance in breaking down tougher residues.

What is Silicone Glue Used For?

This versatile bonding agent is widely used in craft, repair, 3D printing, and professional applications. It works effectively on PVC, resins, and clear plastics, as well as PLA plastic from 3D printers ensuring that surfaces retain their clarity without visible imperfections. In crafts, it is often used to glue EVA foam, felt, or cardboard in projects that require a clean, seamless finish. In the world of modeling and Warhammer board game miniatures, it is an excellent choice for creating dynamic effects such as splashes or slime in modeling projects. Unlike other adhesives, it does not discolor, making it ideal for transparent or decorative materials where precision is most important.

How to Dissolve Silicone Glue?

Breaking down this material requires a combination of patience and the right tools. Acetone is one of the most effective solvents, loosening the bond when applied sparingly and allowed to penetrate for a few minutes. For a gentler approach, warming the adhesive with a hairdryer can make it more pliable and easier to remove. Dedicated removers designed specifically for silicone-based products can also provide excellent results. When working with solvents or heat, always ensure proper ventilation and take care to protect the surrounding surfaces and materials.

How to Add Drool and Saliva Effects to Your Miniatures Using Clear Glue?

Adding drool and saliva effects to miniatures can elevate their realism, especially for creatures like monsters or aliens. Using a transparent adhesive like Clear Glue ensures a perfect glossy finish for this purpose. Here’s a step-by-step guide to achieving these effects.

1. Prepare Your Tools and Materials: Gather your materials: the adhesive, a toothpick or fine applicator, tweezers, and a small paintbrush. These tools will help you work precisely and ensure a realistic outcome.
2. Visualize the Effect: Decide on the placement and style of the drool or saliva. For instance, you might create a thin strand between teeth or dripping saliva from a tongue. Imagining the final look helps with placement and proportions during application.
3. Apply the Adhesive: Using the toothpick or fine applicator, place a small amount of adhesive where the drool or saliva should begin. Stretch it between two points, such as between fangs, to create strands. The product’s transparent and viscous nature makes it ideal for forming realistic shapes.
4. Shape and refine: While the adhesive is still flexible, use tweezers or a small paintbrush to adjust the strands, curves, or drops to mimic the natural flow of saliva. This step is key to achieving a realistic look.
5. Allow the material to harden completely: Depending on the thickness, this may take a few hours.
6. Finishing touches: Enhance the effect by brushing on a gloss varnish for a wet look or change its color by adding a blood effect paint. These details add depth and realism to the finished piece.
