Photo etch and canopies

[Filo387]

Hi all
Quick question. What glue would be. The best to stick photo etch to a canopy? A bit worried about clouding.

Regards

i think most guys use kristal clear by micro scale for.the transparant drying
buy if there is a better way i would like to know this aswell
i have a flanker with pe parts for the canopy

the uv glue is good for pe parts imo

I have the crustal clear. Where do you get the uv one from

Thanks to another modeller, I now use Klear - the Johnson's variety, the stuff you use to dip the canopies in - to attach my canopies. Position your canopy and then touch a loaded brush to a join and capillary action will take the Klear along the join - you'll actually see it spread out between them. It's still very watery at this stage, so you can reposition your canopy if needed, but once set, it is rock solid and of course... clear!

See this thread for one brand of UV glue. You can buy it from HobbyLinkJapan.

It is attaching the photo etch to the canopy that I need to glue. Metal to plastic. I normally use super glue but thus will cloud the clear canopy
