Canopy Glue - What do you use?

[Robert1968]

I have used revell canopy glue and this comes with an a small brush in the lid and works fine on most plastic kits with canopies or glass ( windows for kits ) I always leave till quite tacky before applying part also use a pair of surgical gloves on polished canopies to stop finger prints

I use Formula 560(PVA glue) and Humbrol ClearFix both are good although the formular 560 needs to be left for 24 hours to fully cure. The ClearFix can also be use to make small windows too.

Hi I wish I had come across this site/forum before today as yesterday I made a mess of fitting my windows into my Beaver model with epoxy, most times when I have used it to fit windows I do a decent enough job but yesterday I made a mess of it when I ended up dropping one of the windows and had to try and recover it from the inside and ended up with the epoxy all over the window and I doubt it will come off so its either leave it a mess or have a go at vacuum forming a couple of new ones which I have done in the past just using a hot air gun and a soft brush (I don't have the room for a vacuum forming machine) and the past attempts normally come out ok.

Welcome to SMF Poppy. If it's a small window you might be able to use Kristal Klear to make a replacement. You can fill the space with it and wait for it to dry clear.
