What does everyone use to glue canopies to kits these days? i used to use PVA glue. is that still the norm?

 

[Guest]

I use formula 560 canopy glue, which is basically PVA

 

[Guest]

Always used PVA and Klear for glueing canopies and anything that has clear parts.

 

[Guest]

Gator glue is also good for canopies

 

[Guest]

I've just started using humbrol clearfix for canopies and find it better than pva, a little less runny.

Thanks for this thread

@Bunkerbarge

Thank you very much for starting this thread, like many others I too am returning to plastic model kit making after many years - lots of useful pointers here to help me get going.

For me, I can remember in the early seventies making a few planes, some prehistoric dinosaurs and a few boats, can you still get those dinosaur kits anymore?

anyways thanks again Bunkerbarge and others for this very useful thread - well worth the sticky :thumbsup:
