Gomagom 9 Super Glue is the precision cyanoacrylate for 3D printing and modelling workshops: 10 g of clear adhesive with one detail that changes the game when you work with small parts — it comes with a built-in brush applicator. Instead of the imprecise squirt from a standard cone nozzle, you apply exactly the amount you need, right where you need it. Ideal for assembling resin-printed wargaming miniatures, attaching small multipart pieces, gluing photo-etched parts or repairing fine details without smearing adjacent areas. If you mainly work with large printed parts, high-volume assemblies or general workshop repairs, the 20 g Gomagom 7 Super Glue with cone nozzle is the better choice for you.
Why the brush applicator changes precision work
Anyone who has tried to glue a sword the size of a grain of rice onto the hand of a printed miniature with a standard superglue bottle knows the problem: you squeeze a little too hard, out comes a drop much bigger than the part, and you end up with cyanoacrylate all over the gauntlet, the shield and half the base. With the brush applicator, that doesn't happen. You dip the tip in the adhesive, apply the exact amount where you need it, and the small part fits cleanly.
This goes double for UV resin printed parts: contact areas are often very small (pegs, thin connectors, parts assembled stand-alone), and the application control the brush gives you stops the adhesive from spreading onto adjacent surfaces you'd later have to clean with Gomagom 21 Adhesive Remover.
Typical use cases
Gomagom 9 covers the scenarios where precision matters more than the amount of adhesive:
Assembling resin-printed miniatures. Arms, weapons, backpacks, shields, heads — any separate component of a wargaming miniature. The brush applicator lays down just the right amount without spilling onto the base or details.
Small multipart printed pieces. Articulated models, busts, small dioramas, assemblies where the contact surfaces are thin or irregular.
Repairing broken details on printed parts. When a miniature or printed part falls on the floor and a small detail breaks off, the brush lets you apply adhesive exactly where it belongs, with no material squeezing out of the joint. For breaks where fragments have also been lost, combine it with Gomagom 31 Epoxy Putty.
Gluing photo-etch and scale modelling. Photo-etched inserts on scale models, scratch-built details, tiny jewellery findings. Any part under a few millimetres benefits from the application control.
Which Gomagom adhesive to choose for your work
We stock several cyanoacrylates and one UV adhesive in the Gomagom family, each for different scenarios:
-
Gomagom 2 (liquid, 3 g, extra-fine pen): maximum precision. Jewellery, photo-etch, sub-millimetre details.
-
Gomagom 9 (this one, liquid, 10 g, brush applicator): moderate precision. Wargaming miniatures, assemblies with fine details, small printed parts. The modeller's standard.
-
Gomagom 7 (liquid, 20 g, cone nozzle): general use. Large assemblies, workshop repairs, household use.
-
Gomagom 37 (GEL, 3 g, anti-clog applicator): difficult joints. Vertical applications, porous materials (wood, leather), neodymium magnets, imperfect joints where liquid would run.
-
Gomagom 87 (UV resin, 4 g, with UV torch): SLA part repair. Superior chemical bonding on UV resin (Anycubic/Elegoo), unhurried open time, repair of separated layers.
The most practical approach for an active 3D printing and modelling workshop: keep the formats you need for your type of work. They aren't substitutes but complements.
How to use it
The procedure is standard for any cyanoacrylate — the brush applicator only changes how you apply it, not the workflow:
1. Clean, dry surfaces. Both parts to be joined must be free of dust, grease and support remnants. A wipe with isopropyl alcohol before gluing greatly improves adhesion, especially on UV resin printed parts that may have uncured monomer residue.
2. Apply a thin layer with the brush. With cyanoacrylate, less is more. A layer that's too thick takes much longer to cure and leaves a weaker bond, not a stronger one. The applicator is designed precisely to lay down thin layers.
3. Join and press for 15-30 seconds. That's how long the cyanoacrylate takes to reach its initial set. Hold the parts in position without moving them during that time.
4. Full strength in around 12 hours. For joints that will be handled or put under load, it's best to wait until the next day before pushing them to full strength.
Avoid finger contact when joining parts — cyanoacrylate bonds skin to skin in seconds. If it happens, reach for Gomagom 21 Adhesive Remover, which is made exactly for that.
Compatibility with 3D printing materials
-
Cured UV resin — excellent adhesion; cleaning with isopropyl alcohol before gluing is recommended
-
PLA (FDM) — very good adhesion, the standard choice
-
PETG (FDM) — good adhesion, lightly sanding the area is best
-
ABS (FDM) — good adhesion
-
Flexible TPU / TPE — limited adhesion, consider other adhesives
Other compatible materials
As a general-purpose cyanoacrylate, Gomagom 9 also works well on rigid plastics (HIPS from Revell/Tamiya/Italeri scale kits), metals, ceramics and porcelain, wood (especially hardwoods), rubber, leather and glass. Very flexible plastics (polyethylene, polypropylene) and highly polished surfaces require prior preparation.

Why buy it at Mr Resin
Brush-applicator alternatives from supermarkets or hardware stores usually come in small formats (3-5 g) at prices that work out considerably more expensive per gram. The 10 g of Gomagom 9 is a comfortable amount for several precision 3D printing projects, without having to replace the tube every few weeks. If you're already ordering resin, filament or paint, adding the 9 goes in the same shipment at no extra cost. Shipping to mainland Spain is free on orders over 79 €.
Mr Resin has spent years serving more than 5,000 makers in Spain, Portugal and France. Our catalogue is built on what the community asks for: printers and materials at its core, plus the workshop consumables that end up being part of everyday work.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the right adhesive for resin-printed miniatures?
Yes, it's one of its best use cases. Cyanoacrylate is the standard adhesive for miniatures (cured UV resin, Citadel-style rigid polymer, HIPS), and the Gomagom 9 brush applicator adds the application control that small, detailed parts need. For large miniatures or bigger printed parts, Gomagom 7 with cone nozzle is more practical thanks to its larger quantity.
What's the advantage of the brush applicator over a nozzle bottle?
Control. A cone-nozzle bottle lays down large, imprecise drops — ideal for broad surfaces but problematic on small parts. The brush lets you apply very thin layers exactly where needed, without spilling onto adjacent areas. For small printed parts, miniatures, photo-etch and detail work, the difference is noticeable. For joining two large parts with full contact, a bottle works just as well and goes further thanks to its larger quantity.
Does it work well on UV resin printed parts?
Yes, perfectly. Cured UV resin behaves like a rigid thermoset, and cyanoacrylate bonds well to it. We recommend washing and curing parts properly before gluing, and wiping the contact surfaces with isopropyl alcohol to remove any unpolymerised monomer residue — this clearly improves bond quality and prevents poorly bonded areas caused by chemical contamination.
Can it be used to glue Citadel or Mantic-style plastic miniatures?
Yes. Cyanoacrylate is one of the standard adhesives for rigid polymer miniatures (HIPS, pre-cast resin). For flexible plastic or "restic" miniatures such as Mantic's, lightly sand the contact surface before gluing; these plastics are more resistant to cyanoacrylate and the bond may be weaker without preparation.
How long does the tube last once opened?
Like any cyanoacrylate, once opened it starts losing properties by absorbing ambient moisture, especially if the cap isn't airtight. Stored properly in a cool, dry place away from light, a 10 g tube can last you months with occasional use. If you notice the glue starting to thicken or taking longer to cure, it's time for a new one.
What if my fingers get stuck while assembling a printed part?
It happens more than we admit. The procedure is: don't pull them apart by force (it tears off layers of skin), apply a cyanoacrylate remover such as Gomagom 21 to the bonded area, wait 2-4 minutes and gently separate. Any residue comes off by washing with soap and water.
