Hi Pabbi. I use Micro Krystal klear works well. (http://www.modelsrgo.co.uk/microscale-m ... l.-oz.html.) if you use something like Tamiya ET then they can cause the clear parts to go cloudy. I think any type of PVA glue will work ok though.

Paul / Lee what type/brand of UV glue are you using ? never tried that before.
Gator's Grip and Micro Krystal klear I have tried but I think it takes so long to dry ?
