Gluing clear windows and chrome accessories to painted surfaces ?

I've actually been using 5-minute epoxy several times in the last few days, and I'll be using it again soon.  I'll time myself to see how long I mix it.

I've been using Devcon 5-min epoxy over the last week or so to glue the chrome engine parts to the plastic block in the Salvinos JR NASCAR kits.  I use about the diameter of a nickel of each part, mix for about 30 seconds with a toothpick and apply immediately.   Gives me about 2-3 minutes positioning time and then shortly after it's locked in.

I've used two part epoxy for most all glass installation.  But lately with some windshields and glass being in a flat plane I have taken the time to make sure the clear plastic fits as smoothly and completely as possible so that I can position it out near the edge of the opening.  On my last build of the Sterling I did that and simply sealed the edges with Testors' clear lacquer.  So far so good.  Plus it looks right.

For glass I use Aleene's Tacky Glue, it drys clear and wipes right off if you get it in spots you don't want it. It's a lot like elmers white glue...
