nheather Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Looking for some glue for glazing and for attaching photo etch. Seen the following Gator Grip Gator Grip Thin Glue n Glaze Kristal Klear Do I need to buy two or more or are they all effectively the same thing?

Parabat Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Some if those will certainly be different products. I like to use simple white PVA glue for attaching glazing, it dries clear. For attaching PE it might be fine for seatbelts or something not needing structural strength, for something PE needing permanent and robust attaching a gel superglue or epoxy gives some rigidity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nheather Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 Thanks, Buy glazing, I mean using the glue to glaze small opening rather than attaching transparencies. And for photo-etch I'm thinking of the small fiddly parts. What I'm thinking is that Glue n Glaze would serve all three purposes 1 - attaching transparencies 2 - glazing small openings 3 - attaching small photo etch Cheers, nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little-cars Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Gator Grip - Thick clear drying resin for attaching canopies and other clear parts Gator Grip Thin - For attaching small PE parts Glue n Glaze - originally for spreading over and opening to create a window, so quite thin, Kristal Klear - Thicker than glue n glaze but is good for creating small windows, eg airliners Everyone has their favorites way of achieving the finish they want. Personally I would go for Gator Grip & Gator grip thin to cover the three things you are looking to achieve. Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Many thanks, so just to double check, does Gator Grip create clear windows in small openings. Cheers, Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Nigel It can be used for that, it is a fairly thick, so will stay where it's put. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
