mchook Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I hope someone here can help. I have this 38 GMC resin cab that has no glass for it. I made the windshields so they fit in the opening nice but I'm not sure how to glue them in without messing them up. I have some testors window glue but I've never had much luck with it in the past. Here's what I'm working on, any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMCMAN52 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I would use some 5 minute epoxy to install your glass. I would use some masking tape to hold the glass in place and then use the epoxy around the inside of the glass to the body. any excess glue can be cleaned off you glass if not careful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete J. Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Zap formula 560 canopy glue. Get it at the R/C counter. It is a water based white glue formulated for holding clear canopy's on R/C aircraft. It tacks up pretty quickly an drys clear. Because it is water based it cleans up very nicely with either a little water or alcohol on a Q-tip. Great stuff!

High octane Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I've always used Devcon 5-Minute Epoxy as it dries clear and has a strong bond. I've been usin' this stuff for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exotics_Builder Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Hypoid Cement (Watch Crystal glue). Epoxy if helping element a warp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbox55 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Another option is Bondic, which is a UV cure product. Since it doesn't cure until you expose it to UV from the led lamp that comes with it, you get the positioning where you want it before you set it.
