Clear glues

[Unclealex]

Hi all, I've discovered a great adhesive for modelling, called clearfix. Its made by Humbrol, and is mainly designed for aircraft kits etc. It allows me to fix clear plastics without the annoying fogging of the clear parts. I have used it for gluing glazing into plastic building kits.

Has anyone else tried this? Let me know, cheers Alex

For attaching glazing I use either PVA or enamel varnish (I use the latter also for attaching etched plates)

Used Clearfix 150 years ago...... but Deluxe Materials Glue`n Glaze is far superior......

Hi Rosspop, I've heard of that, but not tried it yet. I found clearfix through my model aircraft work. Is it the same process?

I think Glue n Glaze is along the same lines as Canopy Glue, I used to use both until I found out that PVA does the same job at a fraction of the cost!  It was at a model show demo that I learned that, same with varnish
