A bizarre question......................

[Dave Ward]

I was talking to my elder brother, who has rediscovered model making, after a gap of 50 years or so, he's into Rally Cars ( Belkits Skoda being under way ), and he was complaining on the difficulty he has in adding transparencies. I'd suggested PVA, but he wasn't having much success.
He suddenly said " how about false eyelash glue? " I had absolutely no answer to that!
Has anyone heard of this being used/tried?

As far as i know...

It's liquid latex, so would work but don't think it would be good long term....

Humbrol Clearfix is good for making transparencies on a small scale

I use Deluxe Materials Glue n Glaze..... From what I gather it's some sort of PVA on steroids.

Hope he sorts it out.

Bro was having problems in keeping the windscreens for his cars in place - I dissuaded him from trying CA!!!

The glue and glaze takes a while to set, much like PVA but once set it seems pretty strong, although if you desperately need to get it out a sharp blade can help get the piece off.

The Glue n Glaze seems to go off in the bottle pretty quickly - I reckon I only used about half of it before it was unuseable..........

Zap formula 560 also works well. I suspect it’s the same stuff as glue n glaze, because Andrews description tallies with my experience.

My Zap 560 is a few years old now (pre dates me joining this forum) is still liquid, and still works well.

Agree with Tim zap seems to work well,if I haven't used it for a while I may have to dig out the end of the nozzle.

Humbrol Clearfix works well for glueing clear pieces in as well as filling openings that should be glazed, ut beware that it dissolves paint — so even though you’re not getting glue stains on the windscreen, you might end up smearing some of that paint over them anyway …

I use Deluxe Glue n Glaze for all my plastic strip and film windows .
Think there is a Contacta which does the same .

I'm happy with Microscale's "Micro Liquitape". It's intended to temporarily hold parts, but dries clear and the hold is quite strong nonetheless.

To clarify, it doesn't dry hard like CA , but I've used it on occasion as a final fixer for odd parts, with success. In this case for a window or windshield, I'd suspect that it would be fine to use.
