Glue Fog

[Mickheff89]

Hi, little help required, I do my own conversions and have always used super glue but it sometimes fogs up windows on the models. Is there anyway to get rid of the fog? Also if you use a specialised glue for handrails and mirrors etc, what brand and where available?

Thanks

you can get a fog free superglue, its about the same price as normal stuff and is usally used for fixing canopys and alike on big rc aircraft, any good model shop should stockit if they sell these , but it does come up on ebay to

This stuff has just had a good write up in Truck Model World,they used it to glue clear plastic windows into a model truck,deliberately handled the "glass" to cover it in finger print's,and they just polished off after the glue had set,leaveing no fog what so ever,same company makes a powder you can use to fill holes in resin casting's,just fill hole with powder,then apply glue,job's a goodun,apparently,

Hi Sean,have you done that test yet  ,I bought a bottle of that Filla-Glue,it's good stuff,doesn't burn the paint,and it's reasonably priced £ 6.34 + £ 1.50 postage for 20 gram's,better than £ 3.50 for 3 grams from local ironmonger,
