I have used the Zap-O oderless CA. There is no fog for the canopy.

Pix is right, I mainly make sure I have a fan moving air to remove the CA fumes and like LeeTree said use the glue sparingly.Wink [;)]

Ain't no such thing as non-crazing super glue.
I HAVE attached canopies with cyanoacrylates with no crazing, using TINY drops at a time and letting one dry before applying the next - but Pixilator has the idea - a canopy dipped in Future can help prevent crazing.
I also use white glue, Future, and the color coat of the model to "glue" canopies to the plane. It's no problem, cuz the canopy doesn't get handles much once it's on the airframe.

A canopy dipped in Future will resist the fogging that occurs when CA is used on clear parts. Its the vapor rising that sticks to impurities (such as fingerprint oils). Positioning the model to allow the vapor to escape, and keeping air moving (such as a fan) will keep it clear.
Hope this helps !
