Hello people
I'm just embarking on a repaint of a 37. I removed the windows for painting.
The last time I did a repaint I used cheapo superglue to stick windows back in, but ended up with a frosted effect - not really what I was looking for. Just wondering what other people use?

cheers

Canopy glue another good one for such tasks - but as with all it must be used sparingly!

Plotting has started on a DC controlled layout for the trains I can't easily convert to DCC North Wroxham - an N Gauge Modern Era Layout

Plasti-zap cyano doesn't cause fogging. I've just glazed a 16mm garden railway coach using it.

Of course, given how many different plastics there are the only sound advice is to try on a sample first, but that may be impossible in your case.

 :dunce: Well I never. I didnt realise that glue n glaze could be used for sticking windows in to models. I thought it was solely for making windows. Doh  :dunce:

The frosting it caused by the glue vaporising and having no where for the vapours to escape to. Super Glue is notorious for messing up windows.
