Super Glue GomaGom 9 10g | Precision Cyanoacrylate, 3D Printing

GomaGom 9 Super Adhesive is the precision cyanoacrylate for 3D printing workshops and scale modelling: 10 g of clear adhesive with one feature that changes everything when working with small parts — a built-in brush applicator. Instead of the imprecise flow of a standard cone nozzle, you deposit exactly the right amount exactly where you need it. Perfect for assembling resin-printed wargaming miniatures, bonding small multipart pieces, attaching photo-etched details, or repairing fine detail without contaminating adjacent areas. If your main use is large printed parts, high-volume assembly, or general workshop repairs, the GomaGom 7 Super Adhesive in 20 g with cone nozzle is the better fit.

Why the brush applicator changes precision work

Anyone who has tried to glue a sword the size of a grain of rice to the hand of a printed miniature using a standard superglue bottle knows the problem: you squeeze just a little too hard, a drop far larger than the part comes out, and you end up with cyanoacrylate covering the gauntlet, the shield, and half the base. With the brush applicator that doesn't happen. You load the tip with adhesive, deposit the exact amount where you need it, and the small piece fits cleanly in place.

This matters even more for UV resin-printed parts: contact areas are often very small (pins, thin connectors, standalone assembled sections), and the application control the brush provides stops adhesive from spreading onto adjacent surfaces that would otherwise need cleaning up with GomaGom 21 Adhesive Remover.

Typical use cases

GomaGom 9 covers the scenarios where precision matters more than adhesive volume:

Assembling resin-printed miniatures. Arms, weapons, backpacks, shields, heads — any separate element of a wargaming miniature. The brush applicator deposits just the right amount without spreading onto the base or surrounding detail.

Small multipart printed pieces. Articulated models, busts, small-scale dioramas, assemblies where contact surfaces are thin or irregular.

Repairing broken details on printed parts. When a miniature or printed piece hits the floor and a small detail breaks off, the brush lets you apply adhesive precisely where it's needed without squeeze-out along the joint. For breaks that have also lost fragments, pair it with GomaGom 31 Epoxy Putty.

Photo-etched parts and scale modelling. Photo-etch inserts on scale models, scratch-built added details, tiny jewellery-style connectors. Any part smaller than a few millimetres benefits from controlled application.

When to choose GomaGom 9 vs GomaGom 7

We carry two cyanoacrylates from the GomaGom range, formulated for different use cases:

• GomaGom 9 (this one, 10 g, brush applicator): precision work. Wargaming miniatures, fine-detail assemblies, small printed parts, photo-etched pieces. Where depositing a controlled drop matters more than having a large supply of adhesive.
• GomaGom 7 (20 g, standard cone nozzle): general use. Large printed part assemblies, workshop repairs, everyday household tasks. Twice the volume for jobs where the brush applicator adds no value.

The most practical setup for a 3D printing workshop with multiple projects on the go: keep both. The 9 for detail work, the 7 for everyday use. No serious modeller relies exclusively on just one.

How to use it

The process is standard for any cyanoacrylate — the brush applicator only changes how you apply it, not how it bonds:

1. Clean, dry surfaces. Both parts to be joined must be free of dust, grease, and support residue. A quick wipe with isopropyl alcohol before bonding significantly improves adhesion, especially on UV resin-printed parts that may have uncured monomer residue on the surface.

2. Apply a thin coat with the brush. With cyanoacrylate, less is more. A coat that is too thick takes much longer to cure and produces a weaker bond, not a stronger one. The applicator is designed specifically to deposit thin, even layers.

3. Join the pieces and hold for 15–30 seconds. This is the time cyanoacrylate needs for initial set. Keep the parts in position without moving them during this time.

4. Maximum strength at around 12 hours. For bonds that will be handled or placed under load, it's best to wait until the next day before putting them to the test.

Avoid skin contact when joining pieces — cyanoacrylate bonds skin to skin in seconds. If this happens, reach for Gomagom 21 Adhesive Remover, which is made exactly for that purpose.

Compatibility with 3D Printing Materials

• Cured UV resin — excellent adhesion; recommended to clean with isopropyl alcohol before bonding
• PLA (FDM) — very good adhesion, the go-to choice
• PETG (FDM) — good adhesion; lightly sanding the surface first improves results
• ABS (FDM) — good adhesion
• Flexible TPU / TPE — limited adhesion; consider alternative adhesives

Other Compatible Materials

As a general-purpose cyanoacrylate, Gomagom 9 also works well on rigid plastics (HIPS scale model kits from Revell/Tamiya/Italeri), metals, ceramics and porcelain, wood (especially hardwoods), rubber, leather and glass. Highly flexible plastics (polyethylene, polypropylene) and very smooth surfaces require surface preparation beforehand.

Why Buy It from Mr Resin

Brush-applicator alternatives from supermarkets or hardware stores typically come in small formats (3–5 g) that, per gram, work out considerably more expensive. The 10 g of Gomagom 9 is a practical quantity for multiple precision 3D printing projects, without needing to restock after every job. If you're already ordering resin, filament or paint, adding the Gomagom 9 fits in the same shipment at no extra cost. Orders over €79 ship free to mainland Spain.

Mr Resin has been serving more than 5,000 makers across Spain, Portugal and France for years. Our catalogue is built around what the community asks for: printers and materials as the backbone, plus the workshop consumables that become part of everyday use.

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, rigid polymer such as Citadel, HIPS) and the Gomagom 9's brush applicator adds the application control that small, detailed parts demand. For larger miniatures or higher-volume printed parts, the Gomagom 7 with its conical nozzle is more practical for the quantity involved.

What's the advantage of a brush applicator over a nozzle bottle?
Control. A conical-nozzle bottle deposits large, imprecise drops — great for broad surfaces but problematic on small parts. A brush lets you apply very thin layers exactly where needed, without bleeding into adjacent areas. For small printed parts, miniatures, photo-etched details, and fine detail work, the difference is significant. For bonding two large parts with full surface contact, a bottle works just as well and gives you more adhesive for the money.

Does it work well on UV resin printed parts?
Yes, perfectly. Cured UV resin behaves like a rigid thermoset and cyanoacrylate bonds to it reliably. We recommend washing and curing your parts properly before gluing, and wiping the bonding surfaces with isopropyl alcohol to remove any uncured monomer residue — this noticeably improves bond quality and prevents weak spots caused by chemical contamination.

Is it suitable for gluing plastic miniatures like Citadel or Mantic?
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, lightly sanding the contact surfaces before gluing is recommended; these plastics are more resistant to cyanoacrylate and the bond can be weaker without surface preparation.

How long does the tube last once opened?
Like any cyanoacrylate, once opened it begins to degrade as it absorbs moisture from the air — especially if the cap doesn't seal properly. Stored correctly in a cool, dry place away from light, a 10 g tube can last months with occasional use. If the adhesive starts to thicken or takes longer to cure, it's time to replace it.

What if I accidentally glue my fingers together while assembling a printed part?
It happens more often than any of us admit. The procedure is: don't pull forcefully (you'll tear skin), apply a cyanoacrylate debonder such as Gomagom 21 to the bonded area, wait 2–4 minutes, and gently separate your fingers. Any remaining residue can be removed by washing with soap and water.
