Yes, but it's a super thin liquid. Applied in little dots via tooth pick. I attack allot of my open canopies this way.

Got ya... anytime you use CA, it is a possibility.

I read somewhere (probably on that there entry-net, so it has to be true) and it seems to work.....coating the clear part in Future and then gluing with CA will eliminate or minimize the opportunity to fog up.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Yes, that's what I learned too. Perhaps I forgot to dip it first, but I still used only a little bit of glue.... And the turret came out fine, so idk! :DH:

If some seeped inside, the fogging makes sense.
