A friend of mine recommended a canopy adhesive and it is the best one I have ever used
Deluxe Materials RC Modellers Canopy Glue AD81 supplied in a 80ml tube for £6.50
It is much easier to work with, is a stronger adhesive and is water soluble
I am building a 1/48 Heinkel He111 with a lot of glass and it has made the job much easier

I have found that the best way to use it is to squeeze a small amount onto a toothpick and then use this to distribute it over the area to be glued rather than apply it directly to the ‘glass’

Sounds like a thick PVA type would that be correct ?

I believe is is a thick PVA but seems to perform much better than the previous ones I have tried
