Deluxe Materials Tacky Wax 28g

Deluxe Materials Tacky Wax (28g)

The Deluxe Materials Tacky Wax (28g) is a repositionable wax-based holding medium designed for temporarily fixing small model parts, figures, and details in place without permanently gluing them.

It is not a traditional adhesive, but a soft, tacky wax compound that grips light objects while still allowing them to be removed or repositioned cleanly.

About Tacky Wax

Tacky Wax is used mainly for temporary placement and alignment work in modelling. It holds parts securely enough for display or assembly planning, but can be easily lifted and adjusted without damage or residue.

It is especially popular in railway modelling and diorama building, where figures, accessories, or scenery elements may need to be moved repeatedly during layout design.

Key Features

✔ Repositionable holding wax (not a permanent glue)
✔ Holds figures and small components in place
✔ Allows easy adjustment and repositioning
✔ Leaves no glue marks or damage on surfaces
✔ Water-removable residue (can be cleaned with warm water)
✔ Ideal for temporary layout and display planning
✔ Supplied in a resealable 28g tub
