Seahawk Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Nowadays Gator glue is apparently The Thing to use to affix clear parts. I've thinking about using it on the small side windows of a Whitley and Lancaster I'm fiddling around with but am a bit nervous: as I understand it, the stuff is only glorified PVA glue (or maybe even just PVA glue) which is water soluble, which suggests to me the windows might fall/be poked out irretrievably into the interior when the model is washed pre painting. Has anyone had this actually happen to them? Or is anyone able to offer tips to overcome the problem? Would be delighted to be told I'm worrying unnecessarily. Thnaks in advance. (I've just been readinf CedB's Ju 52 build thread but didn't want to hijack it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads203 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I think Gator glue is an acrylic resin rather than an outright PVA glue, again I would try it first, bond two parts together and see if it holds when submerged in water ?

Troy Smith Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 FWIW you get waterproof external PVA. I'm a big fan of Wudcare 5 minute PVA I presume Gator glue will have some information somewhere about if it's waterproof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
