I need some advice. If you look at Step 14, there are 3 PE parts that needs to be installed on the inside of main canopy.
I know CA will fog clear parts so I don't want to go that route. My thought is epoxy glue is a safe alternative? I bought Gorilla Expoxy glue last night. I'm not sure if gorilla glue epoxy would fog clear parts. Only way to find out is test it on scrap clear, I suppose...

I would go with a white glue like Testors canopy glue just to be safe.
Thanks,

Re: Kinetic Gold IA 58 Pucara
Would it hold the PE parts?

I'm using white glue for all my pe parts unless they are external. Holds very well and if I goof up it just peels off when cured.

Re: Kinetic Gold IA 58 Pucara
I've never had epoxy fog anything before. But yes, try an experiment on a spare canopy or other clear part before committing to using it on a project. I've become something of an epoxy fan over the past couple of years in place of CA... especially the quick set type. Each as their place on your work bench.

Re: Kinetic Gold IA 58 Pucara
As I said before, I need to experiment using expoxy glue. It’s the Gorilla Glue brand that’s getting me wary of fogging a clear canopy.Stikpusher wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2024 12:16 pm I've never had epoxy fog anything before.

Re: Kinetic Gold IA 58 Pucara
Stik has a bunch of Japanese canopies - maybe he can lend you one to experiment on
Thanks,
