cessfordalan Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Good Afternoon fellow members, I recently bought a selection of laser cut windows from Brian Smart models and forgot to ask about a suitable adhesive. I asked Brian via email and promtly lost the reply. could anyone who has used the sash window kit advise me about the adhesive used as the kits have ti be built. Many thanks in advance Alan in the cloudy Outer Hebrides Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brossard Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Well, I use Canopy Glue when fixing windows. It's quite thin so wicks into crevices. It dries clear. I put a little in a small container and apply with a small thin brush. If there is a noticeable excess on the window, it can be removed with a Qtip dipped in water.

cessfordalan Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share Posted April 12, 2020 Hello Brossard, Thank you for quick reply but just one question. What is canopy glue?, I live in a very rural area in the north west of Scotland and apart from the local hardware shop my nearest main shopping area is five hours away by ferry and coach so we depend on basics during this time of pandemic. therefore I will have to rely on the internet so I will have to get it right. Stay safe Regards Alan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brossard Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 As the name implies, model aircraft people use it for canopies. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Zapf-Creation-PT56-560-Cabin-Adhesive/dp/B0006O8EVM CA is NOT recommended because the fumes fog the glazing.

grahame Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 4 hours ago, brossard said: CA is NOT recommended because the fumes fog the glazing. I use CA (super-glue) for gluing the glazing in all my buildings and have never had any fume 'fogging'. Although it'll make an unrecoverable mess if you get the glue on a bit of the glazing you want clear. I just take care not to get it where I don't want it 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
