Gluing canopies

Which is the best type of glue for gluing canopies? I have used CA and liquid cement but both leave blooming on the canopies!

Dipping in Future will prevent "fogging" by CA but by far the best glue is PVA (white) glue.

What Ed says, cheap, water soluble to either clean up or run into the gaps, not too quick drying time with a bit of grip from the start and bloody strong. Whats more you can use it with etched brass details.

Try Gator Grip the best- clear, and holds once dried.....

The two I reccomend to my customers at the moment are Pacer 560 AKA Canopy glue and Gator grip glue.

The canopy glue is a PVA, but does have a good gap filling capability and good grip.

Gator grip glue is a brilliamy acrylic resin that is good for sticking canopies, lenses, even small PE pieces in place.

Both glues clean up with water before they have set and neither harm clear plastic.
