You ll find this in the radio control aisle of your hobby shop as it was designed for attaching canopies on rc airplanes.
Gluing model airplane canopies.
Which works better for building the framework of a model superglue or wood glue.
It dries clear as glass and is mainly used to attach canopies on rc aircraft where vibration is a concern.

I have recently started using future applied with a 10 0 brush to secure clear parts.
Canopy glue that works.
It s slow drying water soluble flexible when set and will not fog the canopy.
Designed for specific kits they are accurate and easy to apply.
Clear canopies are tricky i let them sit right side up for a bit after prepping them because they ll attract dust because while you re handling them they get negatively charged.
Apply as a thin bead using a pin.
Place the mask on the model.
Slip the tip of a hobby knife under a corner of the mask and pull it from its adhesive backing.
On flat and relatively flat windscreens such as on the auster or most civilian aircraft i will apply the glue to only the top and bottom of the front center portion of the windscreen.
It goes on white and dries clear.
Our favorite glue for attaching canopies is rc56.
How to best prepare clear plastic parts for amazing scale model aircraft.
Right before installation i blow them off to get all of the dust off.
I use alcohol to smooth the epoxy get any fingerprints off etc.
Works equally well and tacks down perty fast.
The 560 glue cleans up with water before it dries so you can wipe small smudges off with a damp cloth.

Rc56 glue applied with a toothpick will nail down anything.
