What is liquid silicone or Clear Glue?

This gel glue for EVA or PLA foam, also called Clear Glue, is known for its flexibility and transparency. It's made from silicone polymers, allowing it to create strong bonds between various materials, especially PVC, resins, clear plastics, plasticard, wood, and EVA foam. Unlike sealants designed to fill gaps, this type of product focuses on bonding materials precisely and with a transparent finish. Its slower drying time compared to cyanoacrylate adhesives makes it the preferred choice for crafting, cosplay, and modeling projects, guaranteeing both durability and ease of use.

It's also excellent for gluing all kinds of clear plastics where cyanoacrylate would create a whitish stain, for example, gluing transparent miniature bases, airplane cockpits, and transparent bullet holes, helping to maintain a clean and professional look.

It also works excellently to shape cosplay wigs, as it does not bleach the wigs, the hair remains flexible after drying and stays adhered after heating for shaping several times.

How do you remove silicone glue?

To remove this type of adhesive, it is essential to proceed with care. Start by scraping off any excess material with a non-abrasive tool, such as 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 remove any remaining residue. On delicate surfaces, test the solvent in an inconspicuous area to avoid potential damage. If necessary, specialized glue removers designed for this purpose can offer additional help in dissolving more stubborn residues.

What is silicone glue used for?

This versatile adhesive is widely used in crafts, repairs, 3D printing, and applications Professionals. It works effectively on PVC, resins, and transparent plastics, as well as 3D printer PLA, ensuring surfaces retain their clarity without visible imperfections. In crafts, it is often used to glue EVA foam, felt, or cardboard in projects requiring a clean, seamless finish. In the world of model making and tabletop game miniatures like Warhammer®, 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 paramount.

Why do cosplayers need wig glue?

In cosplay, our product can also function as wig glue, an essential tool for shaping and styling synthetic hair, allowing cosplayers to achieve precise results. Gravity-defying anime-inspired hairstyles. Unlike traditional wig adhesives used to attach wigs to the scalp, this specialized adhesive is designed specifically to sculpt the fibers, helping to create sharp points, exaggerated spikes, and structured styles that stay in place throughout an event or photoshoot.

One of its biggest advantages is that it doesn't bleach wigs, preserving the original color and texture of the synthetic fibers. Once applied and dried, the hair remains flexible and natural-looking, rather than becoming stiff or brittle as can happen with some hairsprays or gels. This ensures that the styled sections can maintain their shape without losing movement, making it ideal for dynamic or voluminous hairstyles.

Additionally, the cosplay wig glue offers great durability, as it allows that the styled hair withstands multiple rounds of steaming, heat treatment, and restyling without breaking or flaking. This makes it a reliable choice for cosplayers who need to rework their wigs for different events or characters without compromising their original shape or structure.

Perfect for creating spikes, setting curls, reinforcing fibers, or creating intricate anime and video game hairstyles, this product is a must-have for cosplayers looking to replicate iconic, extreme, and long-lasting hair designs with professional-quality results.

How do you dissolve clear glue?

Dissolving clear glue requires a combination of patience and the right tools. Acetone is one of the most effective solvents, as it loosens the bond when applied sparingly and allowed to penetrate for a few minutes. If a gentler method is preferred, heat the adhesive. Using a hairdryer can make it more flexible and easier to remove. Removers specifically designed for silicone-based products can also give excellent results. When working with solvents or heat, always ensure adequate ventilation and take care to protect surrounding surfaces and materials.

How to add slime and saliva effects to miniatures with clear glue?

Adding slime and saliva effects to miniatures can increase their realism, especially for creatures like monsters or aliens. Using a clear adhesive like clear glue guarantees a glossy finish, perfect for this purpose. Here's a step-by-step guide to achieving these effects.

1. Prepare your tools and materials: the adhesive, a toothpick or fine applicator, tweezers, and a small brush. These tools will help you work precisely and ensure a realistic result.
2. Visualize the effect: Decide on the placement and style of the slime or saliva. For example, you could create a thin thread between the teeth or saliva dripping from the Tongue. Visualizing the final appearance helps with placement and maintaining 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 the fangs, to create strands. The transparent, viscous nature of the product makes it ideal for forming realistic shapes.
4. Shape and refine: While the adhesive is still flexible, use tweezers or a small brush to adjust the strands, curves, or droplets 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 glossy varnish for a wet look, or change its color by adding blood-effect paint. These details add depth and realism to the finished piece.
