If you havent already tried it then i recommend some of this
no mess, no fuss, no fogging
so easy to accurately glue you canopies etc.

Is this the same as the contacta glue with the metal tube applicator, used it before and bunged up the tube, reckon the glue had dried inside it, so I wasted half the glue because it wouldn't come out. Nice idea though.

the tube on this is much thinner and the cap has a peice that goes inside the tube when you put the top on so it never blocks, it dries perfectly clear as well

It's an acrylic cement used by jewellers for watch glasses and the like though it has found a niche in the hobby market too. I know one of SWMBO's friends uses it in the beautiful "doll's houses",sometimes shops etc,that she makes.
I bought some in Birmingham,probably in the jewellery quarter,but can't remember where.......old age I suppose.
It's readily available in the UK online,a quick google will turn up some retailers. It retails at about £3.60-£4.00.

I use a bit of fuse wire to clean mine out if it clogs. If the glue has set, carefully pour some boiling water over the tube first.Originally posted by \

I always use KLEAR for gluing my cockpits, never had a problem, doesn't need to be a particularly good fit either. DerekComment

I'm a pva fan myself for any clear bits. I eithe use a thin brush or a syringe to apply.
this stuffs got my attention though with it having its own applicator an all
will have look see at getting some and trying it out.Comment

Yes I have tried PVA Colin but it has never worked all that well for me. I find this Jewellers stuff a bit stronger.
Perhaps it is me but I find the stuff has a mind of its own & dribbles out unless you put the pin in which is a nuisance. I do not squeeze it in any wayAny body had this problem is so has any one solved it ?

I've never used PVA , I tend to mainly use Micro Kristal Klear, but now I have that G.S stuff I will try it on my latest build to compare

Gator's Grip for me,just another acrylic cement. I did use the GS Hypo stuff for a while and it worked well enough but I mislaid it a while ago and have never found it. It probably got chucked out by mistake
I have a pot of Gator's Grip which has thickened up a bit over time and not only attaches clear parts but can be used to fill small gaps.

Gator grip for me to.
Steve you know that when it starts to go thick, you can just give it a few drop water and a good shake and its as good as new.. and you can reach it again :-)
