discussion Tamiya Extra Thin, whats the difference?

[pjgtech]

I have seen that there is three main types of Tamiya Extra Thin, eg: "normal", quick setting and low odour.
Is there really much difference between the three?

They all work but are 'more' or 'less' 'hot' to the plastic. The low odour is a bit less hot for example.

With low odour I ment the 'Limonene' odour version (which is less hot), but I haven't used the 'new' low odour product so far. Cheers

I have some of the quick set but don't use it much. I like it for tiny details, like inside a cockpit, where you want it to set fast so the part doesn't wobble around.

I don't find the bond as strong, so wouldn't use it for anything structural, although I could see it being handy for quickly tacking a part in place, before running the regular tet over it.

Low odour is excellent, maybe slightly longer to stick, but its minimal.
So much less stinky and my go to glue from now on.

Yeah, I'ved used the normal one and the quick set, but not the low odour one, did not notice that much difference between normal and quick set, as even the normal is pretty fast setting IMHO.
