What maker doesn’t appreciate a brand new, fresh tube?

There is nothing quite like peeling back the seal on a fresh adhesive to get your next project moving. Whether you are assembling a pristine architectural model, sculpting cosplay armour, or working on intricate studio crafts, having the right bond is everything.

That is why we keep our shelves fully stocked with a vast range of UHU glues. We have got the exact tube for your specific job:

The classic All Purpose Adhesive for everyday builds.

UHU POR for expanded polystyrene and foams.

UHU HART for wood and rigid model-building.

…and let's not forget UHU All Plastics for all those intricate plastic creations!

With cosplay show season now well underway and a busy year of model making already upon us, there is no better time to stock up, refresh your toolkit, and get creative.

Stop the melt! 🛑

If you've ever tried to use regular superglue on Styrofoam or Rigid XPS foam, you'll know the heartbreak of watching your model dissolve. Enter the Zap Foam-Safe duo.

This Odourless CA is specially formulated to bond foam without the chemical reaction that causes melting. Pair it with the Foam Safe Kicker for an instant, rock-solid bond that lets you keep building without the wait.

The perfect combo for architectural modelling, terrain building, and prop making.
