Wayne87 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Hi all. After my recent mishap with super clear on my canopy of my eurofighter. Im wondering what the best glue is for them? One which sticks well to both the clear canopy and the painted fuselage? Going to try and get off the ruined canopy tonight and attempt to buff it up the best I can.

Gorby Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I've tried a few, but the best I've found is 'G-S Hypo Cement'. It's also good for PE. Just remember to let the glue flow on it's own - don't squeeze the tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 G-S Hypo is good. Options are Clearfix or PVA, both of which will allow you to remove the parts should it be necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdriaN (MLT) Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 PVA GLUE! Dries transparent, doesn't melt plastic, doesn't mist plastic, water based, dries slowly, can be pulled or scratched off after dry, excess wet glue can be wiped off with a wet cotton bud.

Black Knight Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Wot he says, Plus if you let some PVA go a bit thick it can be applied with a cocktail stick as a gap filler along the edge of the canopy after its on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmatthewbacon Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Formula 560 Canopy Glue... it’s a type of PVA, but strong, easy to apply and dries quickly 100% clear and colourless. OK, it’s more expensive than PVA wood glue, but I’m still using the same bottle 5 years or more since I bought it.... best, M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of the modelling glue that comes in tubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
