Thread: Which Glue to use?

  1. #1

    Default Which Glue to use?

    I have a questions of the glues.

    I don't know if I can use the same glue for both of my needs.

    I need some glue for acrylics such as I can get from Litko. The last time I got a terrible fog on the pieces.

    Also I have two planes on which something has broken. Can I use a super glue from Home Depot or should I use the same type of glue that I might use above? Is there a local glue that I can pick up that doesn't fog? From Home Depot, Michaels or Lowes?

    I use BSI super glue which comes in different curing times. There is one that cures very slowly but is more liquid or free flowing. The one I use has a purple label and says 10-15 sec curing time. You can get these at hobby stores. Another place is Micro Mark, which sell many things for the hobbyist.

    I have posted this before in the past. The trick to not frosting your clear plastic parts is AIR FLOW. After you glue them together make sure they have a decent air flow, like a fan, or even blowing on them every minute or so. This will chase the Vapor away, which is the cause of the frosting. I have glued many a Litko part frost-free this way. I just glued a bunch of windows in some model Railroad buildings today the same way. I have been using this technique for years and years and years. It works and is simple. You need to keep the air flowing to chase away the glue vapors.
