                        For scratchbuilding a bunch of clear & transparent parts, what adhesive will be best? Tenax, Ambroid, Plastic weld, other? I don't have any of those to test with at this time. What will hold the plastic together without damaging it at all? I want to just airbrush sections with transparent paint without having glue showing at the mating lines. I need something a lot stronger than "clear parts cement".

                        HEY,
                        Clear parts cement is actually really strong, it just takes a bit to dry. Try using elmers white glue. Thats what i usually use for clear pasrts, plus you can get different colors for mouldings and stuff.

                        Two part epoxy glue would be a good choice. It won't craze the plastic and it would be very strong when fully cured.
