Frequently asked questions about the Hobby glues category
What are Hobby glues and what jobs are they for?
Hobby glues are specialised adhesives for modelling, crafts and small repairs, including superglues, contact adhesives, epoxies and textile glues. They suit different materials: KONTAKTLIIM PATTEX TRANSPARENT 50ml for textiles and leather, while EPOXY GLUE PATTEX 1 MINUT 11ml provides strong structural bonds.
Which glue should I use for textiles and clothing?
Use TEKSTIILILIIM TECHNICQLL 20ml or KONTAKTLIIM PATTEX TEXTILE 20g — formulated for flexible bonds and able to withstand gentle washing cycles. Apply a thin layer and allow to dry as directed on the tube.
How does a superglue differ from an epoxy in this category?
Superglues like KIIRLIIM BISON SUPER GLUE CONTROL 3g set very fast and are ideal for small plastic, ceramic and rubber parts. Epoxies such as EPOXY GLUE PATTEX 1 MINUT 11ml create stronger, more impact-resistant bonds suitable for metal, wood and load-bearing joints.
Which glue is best for plastic models and miniatures?
Use superglues like KIIRLIIM LOCTITE SUPERBOND ORIGINAL 4g or LOCTITE SUPERBOND ALL PLASTICS 2g+4ml for precise application and fast setting with minimal mess. Choose formulations labelled for plastics to avoid crazing or damage.
Is KONTAKTLIIM PATTEX TRANSPARENT 50ml suitable for leather and shoes?
Yes, KONTAKTLIIM PATTEX TRANSPARENT 50ml is suitable for leather and shoes; it’s a transparent contact adhesive that forms a flexible, durable bond. Apply to both surfaces, allow a short tack time, then press firmly together.
How do I remove dried glue from this range?
Use LIIMIEEMALDAJA MOMENT PATTEX 5g or LIIMIEEMALDAJA TECHNICQLL 4g — solvents designed to dissolve superglue and contact adhesive residues. Apply a small amount, let it penetrate, then gently scrape off and clean the surface.
Which universal glue works on different materials?
UNIVERSAALLIIM TECHNICQLL ÜLITUGEV 2x3ml and KONTAKTLIIM TECHNICQLL UNIVERSAALNE 20ml bond plastics, metal, wood and ceramics. For heavy-duty joints use PATTEX epoxy; for delicate, precise work choose a universal superglue.
Which glue to choose for flexible materials so the joint doesn't snap?
Use SEKUNDILIIM TECHNICQLL ELASTNE 20ml — an elastic superglue that retains some flexibility in the joint. It prevents brittleness under bending and suits rubber, flexible plastics and leather.
Which glue is suitable for repairing shoes and soles?
For shoe repairs use KONTAKTLIIM PATTEX TRANSPARENT 50ml or KUMMILIIM TECHNICQLL 20ml — both form durable, flexible bonds for soles and uppers. Apply to clean, dry surfaces and respect the recommended contact time.
Which glue is best for bonding metal and porcelain?
Use EPOXY GLUE PATTEX 5 MINUTIT 11ml or 1 MINUT 11ml — they form rigid, durable bonds and can fill gaps. Clean and degrease surfaces before application for optimal strength.
