HOW TO: Fix canopies to your models, using PVA Glue..

White glue, wood glue.. PVA Glue has as many names, as it has usages!! It is an excellent bonding material for canopies on plastic and resin model kits, as it dries clear and transparent, and rock hard. Once dry you can paint over it too..

[BasicModelling]

@everythingman987 I use KLEAR mainly now.. but white glue is ok if done properly.. :) Ordinary glue mists the canopies, more often than not..

[brentwal]

I actually mix the PVA and Future together

[everythingman987]

@BasicModelling well, white glue is good for filling gaps in canopies, but it can't adhire to the plastic that well, so fter a while, it falls apart.........trust me, i know :)
