    Attaching clear shell to chromed parts?

    Whats the best glue to use to attach a clear body shell to some little chromed parts? I don't think CA is suitable due to fogging, and I've tried Micro Kristal Klear but its not holding enough, so any suggestions please?

      You could try a clear sealant that is also a adhesive. I use it for dios and for parts as it allows movement so you can play with it and get it right but sets with the added bonus of a built in adhesive.

      I use clear-Sticks like Sh*t-honest that's what it's called. Expensive at £8 a tube but lasts ages and has loads of uses.

        Revell make a glue called Contacta Liquid Special for chromed parts, but I don't know how good it is I'm afraid.

          I'm testing some of the Testors Plastic cement to see how that goes.
