Testors Clear Parts Cement

Making windows or "Masking" windows? I've never used it, but it appears to be similar to regular white glue. I don't think you'll get a very consistant window, nor do I think it will be very clear.

I would recommend that you go to a hobby shop that specializes in R/C planes or cars. They should have some sheets of Lexan that are about 0.015" thick and it would be great for windows.

I have the Testor's "Clear Parts Cement." I haven't used it much, but it dries clear if you get uniform coverage and just keep adding layers. I discovered this because I put a hole in a canopy. I wasn't trying to seriously fix it, it was past the point of no return. Anyway, I put some Scotch tape on the underside of the hole and just kept layering. It dimpled, because the tape is too flexible, but it is clear. I just took another look at it and it (AH-1W canopy hatch) fell off. (I didn't realize I was that ugly)
All jokes aside, test it first on a spare part. I think I understand what you're talking about, just follow the directions on the bottle and it should work fine. Then again, it depends what type of windows you want to make. We could probably offer better advice if you'd clarify a bit more. I think what Testor's is referring to are porthole type windows, etc. Remember- Test First! I hope this helps a bit. I have also heard of a way to make windows w/clear nail polish. Cheers, -Spencer

I use the Testors product for gluing clear parts but have not had good luck making windows out of it. I usually use some of the bubble card that AA batteries are packaged in to make windows.

I just bought it. And it really good. You can use a bezels <Is that the name? Very clear indead.

I agree with Swanny!!!!!
For small windows I would get the .05 Clear Styrene sheets. 3 for $2. I get Evergreen Brand. There is another brand I blanked on the name. For straight windows cut the sizes you need and use the Testors Clear Glue if you have it. If not It's not worth buying in my opinion because I prefer to use Elmers Glue for glueing clear parts it dries I tad faster and much stronger.
For windows that are Curved you have to Mount a shape that has a similiar curve differential or even a old windshield say as a base. Mount it on Pencils or Sprue Rods with Clay on the ends. Make sure the clay is thick enouph that it doesn't push through to the windsheild or whatever you are using if the Mounted item is soft!!!! Then heat styrene sheets with a candle or two. Keep the distance at least 6". I've heard of people using light bulbs too!!! Then with the heated styrene press down over the mounted object until you achieve desired shape and let cool. Then glue with good ole' Elmers!!!!! There is a diagram of such a procedure and I actually have been currently looking for it. When I find it I will surely post it hear to help clarify. In the diaghram they are using a substance called Vacu- Form made to mold R/C Airplane Canopies but I haven't been able to locate the stuff from any retailer here in Austin, Tx.
Good Luck and Have Fun!!! Cheers!!!!

I made windows with it for a 1/72 willys jeep. the stuff worked pretty well. Just dont touch it when it is drying.

I bought the stuff and have used it on my 1:48 Hasegawa 109 and I am happy with it. As for strength you shouldn't play with your models man ;) they aren't toys.
