Explore Bare-Metal Plastic Polish and bottled adhesive as separate additions to a model-building workbench. Shop Bare-Metal Foil at MegaHobby and compare the product types before choosing materials for your next model.
Match the product to the finishing step
Plastic polish and adhesive serve different purposes. The polish is listed for plastic-model finishing, while the bottled adhesive should be selected according to its label and the materials being joined. Neither product is a foil sheet, and the self-adhesive foil range should not be assumed to require a separate adhesive.
Preparation makes the detail convincing
Take care of seams, surface texture and dust before adding a final metallic detail. Thin foil follows the surface beneath it, so uneven preparation can remain visible. Plan smaller sections around panel boundaries and trim lines, and test the application on a spare piece before working on a finished model.
When using polish or adhesive, follow the bottle directions for compatible surfaces and application. Paints, clear parts and bare plastic may respond differently. A small test is useful before applying a product near a highly visible finish or delicate detail.
Plan a complete finishing project
Model cars and trucks offer trim, emblems and other small metallic details. Aircraft can use selected metallic panels where the subject supports them. Display and scenery projects may offer additional uses, but check scale, surface preparation and the visual effect before covering a large area.
