- Here's a quick video of how I install glass in my model cars, along with the products I use and why I use them. This is the easiest and best way that I've found to install windshields, without the glue marks or other pitfalls that can occur.

Don, thank you so much all these years I've used clear window glue and now I see how you glue in your windows. Wow !!! You learn something new everyday. Gracias amigo!👊✌
Great tip Don. Thanks for showing us, Ron
Don, it would be great if you would list the products you use. Excellent video.
Some of our local modelers have been using BSI (Bob Smith Industries) Super-Gold+ CA (Black colored cap) for installing clear parts and it does not fog or frost the clear parts.
Love your page old man I’ve learned so much

Thank you for the tip enjoy your videos I just started and my first model car is going to be a MPC kit 1978 Dodge Monaco California Highway Patrol I figured a black and white paint job would be easy for my first time
Thanks Don for the tips.

Thank You Sir for tips,God Bless All
Thank you. Very helpful.
Excellent video... any advise on how to tint clear window for the more modern cars.. I found videos and on fb that you can add a few drops of smoke and clear yellow to specific brand thinners and dip the clearpart. They also use pledge revive it which we don't have in my country for the first dip prior the Thinner mixed tint. More dips to darken the tint. So my question is how would you do it and with what ? Thank you and I'm enjoying your videos - still have a lot to come and work through. Cheers
You use tamiya smoke and airbrush it on
Very nice trick with the baby oil.
Great advice!
Thanks heaps, very helpful.
Thank you sir for the tips.
Coming in late on this, but I was wondering if the Bare Metal Foil has any effect to the adhesion of the Plastistruct Cement? Thanks.
Thanks Don, for sharing,
Great tip Thank You.
Another great video, thanks. Hey After you sand off with 8,000 grit can't you coat the window with pledge?
+BennyCFD Some do ... I prefer going to 12000 & polishing it out with Novus 2 and then Meguiars Yellow wax .....
Do those Micro brushes have a cotton end? I found some on Amazon for applying mascara. Would they be the same as what you are using?
If there's one thing that'll make me punch holes in walls it's these BLOODY GLASS PIECES!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!
i found it helpful to mask all window/ body mating surfaces because after two coats of prime two coats of color and then a clear coat or three, the glass doesnt sit right. Especially on glass that os dropped in from outside
If I may ask you to write in a reply the name of your go to model glue and the glue that you used on the glass and do you still use your glass glue if the glass doesn’t have a mount like the car you used in your video? Thank you very much sir.
I'm surprised to hear you say that the windows can be popped out with a finger. I thought that the Bondene/Same Stuff/Tamiya and the like BONDED the plastic. That's why I rarely use Cyanoacrylate - because it doesn't bond at all.
As a matter of fact, I tested the strength by gluing a tube to a flash sheet and seeing how much pressure it would take to remove after it cured for a couple days. The tube came off, but it left material from the tube on the sheet, not a clean break at all. I've actually had the Bondene type bonders do fine THROUGH a layer of paint and primer and bond just fine.
Thanks you video was very helpful indeed could you tell me what the brushes was called you used to glue to window on
MicroMark fine applicators
@@ScaleModelTechniques thanks great help
Would Tamiya and Flexifile liquid cements work the same?
great tip thank you don
great tips
Don i cant find those ultra fine brushes at micro mark. Is that the actual name of that tool? I would love to use them as you recommended
Not sure where to take this but I'll give it a go here. I just subscribed. I'm getting back into modeling for fun after nearly 50 years so I'm old enough to realize I don't know jack squat. I bought a cheap open box Revell 57 Chevy hardtop kit to practice on. Seller said he had all the parts and did minor work on it and there was nothing ruined. All true except the windshield had already been glued to the body before any paint or other work. I want to remove the windshield to facilitate painting and such. It's being held by two spots on the inside of the roof which appear to be from the regular old tube of Testors glue. Two other spots have already given way so it gives me hope the windshield can be removed without cracking it or the roof. Can you give some tips how to safely remove the windshield? Thanks and I appreciate the crankiness.
I jut watched a video of yours from 2017 talking about paying for your channel, and help, if I understand that correctly. I don't have a problem with it. I was just asking a question about the hobby. I mean no offense or insult or anything and I certainly didn't realize it's a touchy subject. I'm just a guy trying to get by during quarantines and lockdowns and other crap. Thanks for your time.
Try this .... Take a 1 gallon freezer bag fill it with water , place the body inside , zip it closed , put it in the freezer . More often than not , when the body freezes solid , it will pop the glue joints without damaging the body . Let it thaw , and then have at it !
As for crankiness , welcome to the modeling world ! Lmao ! Check out our Patreon channel , $4 a week for a new video each week . We also have how to DVDs on airbrushing , tips and tricks , and achieving an outstanding paint finish .
Welcome back to the hobby !
A great tip! I've generally used PVA glue for gluing in glazing on model cars, and found it quite messy. I wonder if Tamiya extra thin cement would work as well as the Plastruct Bondene. Perhaps something to experiment with as I find PVA quite messy... I've subscribed as well!
i guess im asking the wrong place but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was dumb lost the login password. I would love any help you can give me
@Luka Finnley Instablaster =)
@Harry Louie Thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Harry Louie it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much, you really help me out!
@Luka Finnley Happy to help :)
Thank you
Can you please list the window polish you use thanks
You should put links to the products you mentioned in the description so we can order.. Or even know what you are talking about? 😊
Ty for the tip
Hey boss I don't mean to bother you but i have a question . What is your go to paint brand for airbrushing? I want a bright orange for my 41 Willy's just not sure what brand to use.
big bear dodge Testers Competition Orange enamel .
Thanks for the great to Don
I am going to start my first airbrush paint adventure on a 1/25 scale 59' chevy impala hardtop. Turquoise on roof and trunk area, gloss white on bottom section. Should I mask and paint each section separately or paint all white then mask and paint turquoise?
Al Olivarez Paint all white , mask off , apply the turquoise ......
@@ScaleModelTechniques Thank you for the quick reply. I am also going to use your tip I got from your Art of Airbrushing CD and use the Model Masters Metalizer to prime for the first time.
Al Olivarez If you are using standard colors and have prepped up to 12000, there is no need for the metallizer . Shoot standard colors onto the bare plastic .
Cant find testors enamel topcoat anywhere, everywhere I look they're out of stock. All I can find is clear coat lacquer.
What else, if not enamel clear, is a good clear coat over enamel?
Randy Anderson Contact Mike Guest at MCW , he has a brand new enamel line . The clear and colors are an excellent product .....
I would like to see a video timeline where you do a complete car build and see your techniques. I am very visual. If you have a video already like that ?
Patreon Channel …. Donn Yost’s Scale Model Car Techniques ….
this was awesome, because if I was a criminal all they need to do is go to my model windows to get my finger prints
Is the Plastruct the same as Tamiya extra thin?
+smurphy1977 I am not sure ... To hazard a guess , they would be very similar in nature .
Goid tutorial. I use weld-bond glue. Dries almost invisible. Use on windows and headlights. Taillights too.
what is that name on that bottle that uesing on the glass
Which glue do you use for Windows? .. I use gel superglue but it fogs up..
Wood glue in any disguise be it "cristal kleer" or "pva glue"...
Nice tip. I will have to try that. Can you do a bare metal foil tutorial?
That's exactly how I do it my brother......
What is the window glue u use? What is the purple glue
Plastruct Bondene for the windows . The Purple is medium viscosity super glue which I use for general building .
were can i buy it at
What glue is that? The one you mentioned is your go too.
Plastruct Bondene
where to find this batonnete you apply the glue.?
MicroMark
What is Novestu (sp?)? Sort of polishing compound?
Novus 2 is a medium based polish . Available through MicroMark , or local hobby shops .
@@ScaleModelTechniques Thank you 😊
Can someone post a link to these aplicators ? The ones I'm finding are dental brushes.
Hmm, I just clicked that link and they are indeed dental brushes lmao. I think that is what he uses, I'll find out-Jake
www.micromark.com/Microbrushes - he uses the ultrafine size-Jake
Amazon has them., This one size and they have other sizes. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QWDZ3GU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Scale Model Techniques Thanks
The Same Stuff applicator is a good alternative - also can be gotten at Micromark.
Could you just clarify the name of the gun lie you use please, I couldn’t quite make out the name please.
Plastruct Bondene .....
RIP SIR
Just a very late heads up. Search on Amazon for "Eyelash Micro-Brushes". It's just another repurposed make-up applicator.
u could of added a link
Think you think you this is something I have a problem with. This dummie (that's me) has learned a much easier way.
+Tucker Williams Well , Tucker , us dummies ( me too ) have to stick together ! Lmao !
if would spend $30.00 for the model why would'nt you do that dam your smart
Why is it that so much work going into a kit and the roof inside with ejector pin marks are not sanded out and the roof inside not painted ?
Simply because it was a slot car body ….
hey all I'm just starti
IS THERE A STEP BY STEP BEGINNING TO END ON HOW TO BUILD A CAR VIDEO I CAN WATCH AND LEARN.IT'S BEEN YEARS STARTING UP AGAIN.
WTF is novice 2 and can I have a link?
Novus #1-2-3 is a polishing system . Available from MicroMark ......
Absolutely sickening (in a good way) paint job. Wow.
I know that you use Novus polish (pronounced no - vus as in Nova) No = long o sound - not an ah sound as in novice. This is plastic polish. I use wet sanding papers to polish my plastic. I have foam sanding pads. I polish all the way up to 12000 grit to remove scratches. I glue with 3-M glue around my window frames. No hazy white crazing from superglue or fingerprints or mess. I use a tiny brush to apply my glue with. Spray your adhesive onto aluminum foil then run your brush through it and apply it to the window frame. Then you can apply your windows against it. The glue comes off with mineral spirits and no damage done!
You got cut off at the last second, sounded like an unfinished thought
+Jay Hancock Lol ! Jake split the video , Jay . We did a double , the next one will be on decal placement . Jake will tell you that I have plenty of unfinished thoughts , he call it Halfheimers .....
Scale Model Techniques cameraman... you're fired.
Jay Hancock Is it legal to fire family ? Hmmm , have to check the bylaws ... Better watch , he might volunteer your services , Jay ! 😂
I can only do so much when we plan stuff out and some people don't stick to the plan...I'm going to start bringing a bamboo stick and smacking him on the head lmao - Jake
Scale Model Techniques I'm cracking up over here 😂 whenever I am needed, as long as it keeps the videos coming!
U talk to much
Omg....ray charles is a better camera man than this guy...
Why y’all white people talk to much n don’t explain anything smh 🤦♂️
