Tamiya Extra Thin vs clear parts

[RicRodrigues]

Hi, guys!!!

A couple of days ago I was watching a building video on Youtube and the modeller was using Tamiya Extra Thin to glue the clear parts. He was saying that, if you use it carefully, the clear parts won't fog up.
Now, has anyone tried this or have any experience using TET on clear parts?

Cheers!!!

I use it but the clear part has to be a perfect fit and the brush with the smallest amount of glue as you can. Have a go with something old.

Yep it works if careful. I've not had a clear piece fog up as yet. It's CA glue that is the killer for clear parts open a pube of that stuff within feet of a clear part and it seems to affect it!!!

Cheers, guys!!!
For some reason, I thought all the glues (except the white glue) would fog the clear parts!!! I've always used white glue, but sometimes the fixing is not strong enough and I was thinking if this way it would give a stronger fixing (I still remember the hundreds of times I had to re-glue the canopy of the tamiya p-51 I built last year!!!).
I'll give it a go on some old parts just to see if I'm careful enough!!!

No problems when I've used it; even the Deluxe Plastic Magic works, too.
