Testors window maker cement

I have it but have only used it once.  Mine was milky, and runny, like a watered down Elmers white glue.

The instructions say to use the smooth rounded handle end (opposite the bristles) of a paint brush to make windows, I used it to make periscope covers on my Sherman, it took several tries to get the "bubble" to cover the entire area of the window and dry to actually cover the space.

I squirted some in a small receptacle so I could get a visible drop on the paint brush and just moved it around until it looked like the window was covered.  It did not work great, but it worked better than anything else I could think of, and the final product I got is good.

Hope this helps'

get a drop on a toothpick and run the pick around your window frame until it starts filling in the area to the center and remove the pick and let dry it will dry clear.

     I'm not really a fan of it.  I thought it was a bit too runny and prone to bubbling.  I use Mod Podge.  It's much gooey-er  (is that a word?  LOL), but dries surprisingly clear.  You can get it at Hobby Lobby or Michaels.  My .02.

Chris,

Is there a particular aisle/section Mod Podge can be found?

Thanks!

I've had good luck with the stuff on 1/72 aircraft, but I use a long straightpin with the tip filed flat to apply it. It's supposed to look milky when it comes out of the bottle, so no worries there. Get a nice sized bead on the end of your applicator tool and run it all around the edge of your window so all of the edges are wet, then try to draw the remainder of the cement across the center. Go slowly, take your time and practice.

And also remember that this stuff is not good for HUGE areas, only up to about a quarter-inch square or so, but it also fills irregular shapes, as in the triangular bomb aimer's panel on this Betty bomber. I drilled out all 20-odd windows on this 1/144 model and used Testors clear parts cement for the windows and was pleased with the results:

    I didn't get mine in a particular aisle.  It was in a display rack up by the registers.  You could ask tho-I'm sure they'll know what you're talking about.  I think it's also used to seal puzzles.
