Hi Jan!
My glue of choice for this type of work is super glue but I know what you mean about fogging the canopy. I picked up this tip from FSM and it actually works! I've tried it once and it worked perfectly. Dip the canopy into some Future floor polish, wait a couple of days for it to completely cure, then use the super glue. The Future provides a later of protection to keep the glue fumes from etching the plastic. I didn't think it would work but it actually did! It worked on a B-29 model I just finished because I wanted to use gap-filling super glue to blend the canopy in with the fuselage. I dipped the pieces in Future, let them cure, then super glued away. The canopy remained crystal clear. Try it on a scrap canopy if you have one first. I think you'll be happy with the results.
