As per title, is there a way of doing so?

Also, the liquid poly I use smells very strong and as I'm asthamatic, it doesn't do me any favours. Any alternatives you can suggest?

Hmm I would say, careful sanding, polishing and a dip in Future/Kleer will save your clear parts.

As for gluing, try to use white glue or transparent paper glue to fix the parts in place. Gel super glue applied in tiny dots may also work.

For gluing you could also use Humbrol clear fix. It is a quite good product and dries up completely clear.

Hope this helps.

Thanks guys, will give it a go.

Hi Alex

The absolutely crucial thing thing to be sure of before you try sanding or polishing any excess cement off is that it's absolutely dry. Depending on the cement (solvent) this can take far longer than you expect (count on a day or two - be prepared for a week or sometimes much longer). If you go to work too soon, you risk digging a pit in the part and doing more damage than in the first place.

At times like this it's always a good call to have a second kit on the go - something to turn to as a distraction and to stop you tampering too soon.

Microscale do (or certainly did) a low-odour styrene adhesive that that might help with your asthma.

All the best
