What glue do you guys use that won't fog a canopy???

Testors, Zap, .....

It can't be white glue - I need to get a 'weld' joint out of it. The immediate area will be covered...

Hi Scott,

Recently I've used several methods.

On the 1/72 F-82 I used liquid glue.

On a 1/72 FW-190 I used epoxy and Micro Scale Krystal Clear.

I'll try to put some pictures on.

Liquid cement is veery small quantities would do.

I myself use Tamiyas clear coat. Just scuff up the leading edge of the canapy.

How about those glues used by jewelers to fix precious stones on rings or pendants? I forgot what's the name of that kind of glue....something like "bezel" or "brezel."

Hi Scott

Some cyano acrylate glues are sold as "non fogging". I've read that dipping a canopy in Future / Klear helps prevent fogging, while Model Wax "The Treatment" (carnauba wax) is claimed to protect clear parts from fogging.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the input everyone - greatly appreciated.

I use Testors clear cement. Holds well enough for what I do.

Scott, I use many different depending on the situation.
Dipping in Future does help prevent the fogging.
I also use regular good old fashion Testors Liquid applyed with a 3/0 brush, or Tenex applied the same way.
For those that have major gaps, or fit problems, I use 5 minute epoxy. it fills the gaps, and you can smooth it out with your finger or Q-tip moisten with water before it cures, or sand it afterwards.
