I still remember trying to glaze the cab of the earliest Siku Lexion combine and made an utter pigs ear of it.

I've done it before and it has misted I have a tube of what i believe is called cockpit glue, it is similar to pva as it dries clear and doesn't mist at all, and i find with patience it works very well. I'll take a photo of it when I'm back later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done it before and it has misted Yes I too have used an acetate type substance. You can buy various gauges if I recall correctly, have a hunt on eBay. Like a John already stated, flexibility is important in most applications. Regarding fixing, yes you are right, get glue Anywhere near and you’re in trouble. I used the tinyest touch of superglue and it worked fine, I use the gel type one. Just be so so careful maybe someone else has some other suggestions though ?

844john Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 This is the stuff I use, Formula 560 Canopy glue, takes a little while to set but dries clear and no fogging (good job I checked before i posted, bloody phone changed that to dogging!)

Tractorman810 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I use that cockpit glue, works very well, i tend to glaze with clear sheets i buy from the local model shop, all a4 in size and varying thickness avaiable, pretty cheap at arround 75p a sheet on average, move curvey the thinner i use to allow it to bend easy, its in a EMA display bit not sure its actually their product if that makes sence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing that puzzled me the most is why the phone thought dogging was more likely what I meant than fogging, makes you wonder what the chap who wrote the software gets up to in his spare time!

Ha ha, the truth is there are sure to be more people looking into dogging then there are anoraks worried about the effects of fogging on their scratch builds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret90 Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 After looking at the naaaasssty rear hitch I thought I would replace it with an artisan32 one but the prices so, I decided to make my own one, something I've never tried before but it seem to be going well...
