    It will not fog clear parts and dries clear itself.

      Fully agree Andrew, not that I've built many models requiring screens but is messey to apply .

        Ok. So it wasn't just me.....you also waste a lot if you use the plastic needle applicator because I'm always wary of it drying in there and so clean it out each time....

          Plus one on the formula 560. I also use it on cockpit etch sometimes because it gives a more flexible bond than CA…

            Experimented with what I have available. CA and Tamiya thin! The Tamiya was awful, one window fogged, the other caused a minor reaction with the pant below the transparent window. Luckily it was internal so won't be visible!!!
            The CA, (superglue), was fine, no fogging - no visible reaction.
            Currently waiting for Humbol Maskol to set. Then it'll be mating the two fuselage half's together!!!
            Pics later - Maybe!!!!!
