    Elmer's makes a clear PVA now and it is really nice. It's clear in the bottle and dries crystal clear. It's also easy to remove if needed.

    Another great show Tim! Your fixes and suggestions are always spot on. Some may be old school to veterans, but your shows are a refreshing reminder of the dos and don'ts of plastic modeling from a top notch source.
    Hopefully I am not out of line for suggesting, but how about a series on "late in construction modeling mistakes" and how to possibly fix or correct them. Like spilling Tamiya ExtaThin Cement or CA glue on a late stag or done paint job, or maybe decals that desolve and how to replace them? The point is, between you, Aaron and other contributors... I'm sure you've seen it all and I for one, would love to pick your brains for better and easy ideas.

      Thanks for your kind words, David, and the suggestions. Many of those could be videos all by themselves. I'll talk to the team and see what we can come up with. -TK

    No5, that's why Tamiya makes multipurpose cement (clear) for clear parts such as canopy.

    Ha! This video came out two weeks too late for me. I snapped my Corsair canopy in half the way you described. I know clear plastic is brittle but couldn't help myself trying to make it fit just a bit better. Lesson learned the hard way.

      @FineScaleModelermagazine Yes, I was able to locate a vacuum formed canopy. Had to modify it and the fuselage to make it work, but got it done! I'm happy with the result.

    I learned the hard way....( ruined a couple of canopies )NOW I use Micro Krystal clear everytime...best on the market. It takes a bit of time to start to dry and bond but its worth it and rubber tight fitting gloves are a must!! 😊

  • @scottbuildsthemall5124
    @scottbuildsthemall5124 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Great tips Tim! I use a razor saw and single blade nippers for removal from the sprue and G-S Hypo Cement to attach clear parts. The single blade nippers do not pinch the plastic, and as you demonstrated, the saw is ideal for long attachment points. In my experience, the Hypo cement dries "clearer" than other adhesives designed for use with clear parts.

  • @Rainyman63
    @Rainyman63 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I use a cheap PVA glue that cures transparent and stays flexible. Not only to glue clear parts in place, but also as masking fluid.

  • @tomstamford6837
    @tomstamford6837 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I speak from not having cracked a kit open yet, but watching builders applying the extra thin cement in a big 'dab' and let capillary action distribute the liquid along a join, I always thought that any overflow onto the surface of the parts would affect the plastic (regular parts - not clear parts).
    Granted those parts will be painted and any visible marks covered, but as it's designed to weld the plastic, any excess cement that spread across a surface rather than along a join, would still damage that surface.

    Some of the Oderless CA (aka Super Glues) will not fog clear parts. If you accidentally get a finger print in the clear part, some of the oderless CA's can be removed with careful polishing with a product like PlasticX from Meguiar's.

    i used plastic cement on a clear part, mostly fine but i think there was a tiny bit on my finger and theres a small cloud at one edge and a print on a coloured part next to it. Is there any way to clear this up? (pardon the pun), would it perhaps polish out??

  • @MrHandyDad

    I learned hard way, DO NOT CUT clear parts out of bag or off sprue till your ready to test fit & use them.
