NovemberIX Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 PVA glue generally works well, though you can also buy some canopy cement like Pacer 560. Admittedly I use a tiny bit of CA strategically placed to hide any clouding, that or blue tac if I wanna be able to take the canopy off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bung Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Look for Humbrol Clearfix. Its made for glueing clear plastic without the frozen effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlson793 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Testors also has a Clear Parts Cement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StraightSilver Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I use Revell Contacta Clear, which is designed for clear plastic, but as others have said most white glues will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azekai Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I used Zap brand 560canopy glue, took awhile to set, but it certainly works, no clouding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Raven 19 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I have no experience but would probably pin through the painted supports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plastic_slug Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Forget all that other stuff - this is what you want. Watch crystal cement. It dries crystal clear, and is way stronger than white glues, and won't fog or attack the plastic. https://www.amazon.com/Hypo-Watch-Crystal-Cement/dp/B005MJDQZU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
