    Best way to glue glazing?

    I have some small windows to glue And have seen some folks use PVA how durable is this for when I mask off the windows or is it best to use liquid poly very carefully?

    I use pva or humbrol clearfix. With the clearfix if you are careful and the opening is small you can use a cocktail stick and glaze the opening with clearfix by just running the cocktail stick loaded with clearfix around the edges of the opening and bring it across the centre and filling in with a thin film of it. Have a practice at it and then you can do it after painting, it saves masking lots of little openings. Hope this helps

      PVA works Dave let it cure fully before masking.

      But I use Micro Kristal Klear or Gator Grip for my windows but saying that it's just like PVA

        I use PVA mostly with no issues, like the comments say above, let it fully cure before trying to do anything with the glued parts.

          P.V.A for me too and I have a little bottle of half dehydrated (klear-future) which works well as clear cement.
