Quote from: Rick Lowe on January 01, 2025, 11:17:17 AMAIUI, normal superglue can be ok if there is enough air movement to clear away the fumes that cause the fogging.
So a canopy is going to be fraught because the fuselage is closed up, but something open on both sides might be ok.
'Might'; there are a raft of variables and some folk don't have problems, whilst others do.

Putting Klear or similar on first can limit the fogging, and it's better if you can wipe the fogging off afterwards (see: canopies, above) but 'you pays your money and you takes your chances'.

I would avoid it myself and go for something less inimical, but it's an individual choice.

For things like canopies...windscreens I just use Tamiya extra thin...it does the job well just for stuff like clear sheet styrene..normal glues won't look at that stuff and I've had a bugger of a time gluing that in the past..so like Fred CA got used and with disastrous results 😀
So clear gluing CA would be great 👍

There's probably something Specific and Bespoke (translation: Expensive for a Very Small Quantity) out there, it'll be the tracking it down that will be the hassle...

I have seen, in the Micro catalogue IIRC, mention of a Jewelers Watch cement, made to glue the glass onto watches.

Yep I'm thinking about this and looking about this and yep ..it's possible it was a brain fart at some point 👉
But next week I'm heading to Auckland and I'm gonna check out Hobbycity which is where I'm sure I've seen it ..I know there's foam safe CA out there so I'll check out where that is on the shelf 😉

I used superglue because I couldn't be arsed mixing a small amount of 5 minute epoxy for each window.
But there was no clouding as I only used a very tiny amount and then made sure any fumes could escape.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Yep ..a thing I would have also done ...slow time setting glues can be a pain especially when you don't want something to move or even risk it .
Unlike my mate Colin ..broke his sunnies..CA'ed em back together..thought "yup those are sweet" then put em on ..yep..stuck em to his cheek ..wally  ;D  ;D

Yeah, the sort of thing you only do the once. But that's enough!  :rolleyes:
Don't use CA then rub your eye; even if you don't stick things together, the fumes are a pain - in both respects.  :banghead:

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I regularly superglue my forefinger or rudefinger to the thumb of my left hand.
It's just another hazard of this hobby...

😆 🤣..yep ..there was a time when no matter what PE or resin parts I'd glue together there'd be a finger print somewhere  ;D
I'm much more cautious these days  ;)
