[@mikeszpakowski1]

The first product and video that introduced me to VMS brand. Simply the best stuff. Been using VMS for about 4 years and love it !

Hello there Mike, happy to hear from you here on YT! Mike has been supporting us for years just as he says, one couldn't wish for better company! Chris

Another great video. Your products are first class, I have a number of them.

[@Vmssupplies]

Thanks a lot for your support Ewen, it's people like you that makes a company like ours go! Happy modelling, Chris

@@Vmssupplies Thank You Chris. There is actually 3 reasons why I am a great supporter of VMS. First your detailed product videos. Second your high quality products. Third and the most important, your company’s commitment to your customers. On my first buy I missed out on putting the discount product code in. I Emailed VMS asking if they could apply the discount code for me. I received a response via Email informing me that they applied the discount code and they gave me a new discount code valid for 12 months. That’s how you do business.

Very Cool!!! I like the flexi line...

[@Vmssupplies]

Cheers Gary! Happy modelling, Chris

Ok, ok.. I bought the flixy 5 (for PE) and the (slow) its the best ca glue I've ever used. But you must get the VMS debonder for best clean up. I wish I could show a video I'm working with it right now. And watch his videos for best results. 👌 I have a lot of your products keep doing videos ill keep up.👍 I'm one of your biggest fans of your products.

Hi Clayton! Very happy to hear from you again, warms my heart! Chris

[@sakkarem]

Debonder is the best thing ever

Thanks! Happy to hear you found it of use! Happy modelling, Chris

ooooh, new voice for voice over!! :)

Cheers mate!

When you mention keeping the glue refrigerated to extend its life, is there any specific temperature range? Or can I just throw it in next to the milk?

[@Vmssupplies]

Milk is good company, just stay above zero and it will be fine (no freezing) temperature in the range of 4-15 degrees Celsius will work well, so if you keep it in the basement or a similar place where it's cool (temps below 20 degrees Celsius) it will also work. I suggest putting in an opaque box to eliminate light exposure which will further help extend shelf life. If you have kids at home please label and secure the box accordingly so no accidents can occur.

[@jackgu4978]

Great Video, before I buy, I am just curious about how long does it take for the PE part to be somewhat firmly attached? Because I usually want to move on to the next step of assembly and I don't want to waste time by letting it dry for 24 hours. Does it pretty much get solidly attached in a minute or you have to wait for 24 hours? Thanks in advance for answering.

[@Vmssupplies]

Hi there! Glue grips in seconds so you will be able to work at your preferred pace. The glue comes in several variants and there is also a dedicated debonder and filler powder which turns our glue into a fast curing putty. Happy modelling! Chris

[@TheLaughingBrexiteer]

joking aside, I would like to see the same test with your glue vs AK Black Widow, Bob Smith Industries IC-2000 Tire Glue. Some more questions: does your flexi black CA glue perform as well as your regular clear? ; and what is the difference between the glues for resin and for PE? Love your videos and your products btw, just wish they were more readily available in the UK.

[@Vmssupplies]

Flexy Black should yield similar results, it just cures a tad slower. You can get our wares in UK from Scale Model Shop, eModels and Scale Model Shed + many more smaller vendors. I can ask some of our youtuber buddies to test versus other makes, we can't do it here for the same reason BMW won't officially test Mercedes or Lexus, you know, legal stuff. Thanks for watching and commenting, much appreciated!

[@oSurfas]

I had all but only use the Flexy Black, Debonder and CA glue filler, you need to had a accelerator to the colection, it helps the Black to cure faster in some situation

[@Vmssupplies]

Thanks a lot for your support, it's very much appreciated. And thank you for the hint we will see what we can do regarding the accelerator. Happy modelling, Chris

[@paulus1412]

With the debonder how big of a risk is it that with cleaning glue parts also the PE parts will get loose again?

[@Vmssupplies]

There is not much risk as the glue is not easily penetrated (it takes time) and even if affected will solidify once the debonder is gone, moderation and careful application are the key.

Hello, just bought the 3D CA glue but i want it to last longer than my last bottle, what do i have to do to extent it life?

[@Vmssupplies]

It will go 2-3 years easy just store it in a dry cool place, away from direct sunlight. I have some glues 4 years old still good, just a tad thicker. If you want to maximize shelf life put it in an opaque box and in the fridge, best way to preserve the glue. Chris

[@julius7539]

One problem I've had with all super glues in the past is that it eventually dries and can no longer be used (even cleaning the nozzle doesn't help since the bottle completely dries out). Do you have an estimated shelf-life (after opening) for this? edt: oh just found the FAQ, 12-24 months

[@Vmssupplies]

Hello Julius, current, improved formula can last even longer 3-4 years if stored well. Dried bottles are a thing of the past. Chris

[@mistermike3666]

Hello, what are the signs that alerts you when a new bottle should be bought?

[@Vmssupplies]

Hello, thickening of the glue and slow bond formation. But don't worry current formula goes a long way. It will be years before this can occur and if you keep your glues in a fridge you can extend shelf life dramatically. Chris

[@mistermike3666]

@@Vmssupplies Thank you, I bought one bottle like 1 and a half years ago and I think it showing those signs. So I should put it in a fridge so I can extend it life time?

Am I the only one who thinks photo etched parts are useless.... I doesnt add anything for me.

[@Vmssupplies]

Wow, that's a first. 😀 I guess there is nothing wrong about not liking them, you choose how you do your models. Happy modelling, Chris
