The best way to glue the hood is with liquid styrene cement. You hold the hood in place and brush some liquid cement into the joint from the backside. No messy glue squishing out. Liquid cement is a much better way to go than tube glue for just about all applications.

Harry P. Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Hi tried that what i get is melted plastic coming up through joint Thank you Randy Ludi Then you're using way too much. All you need is to brush it lightly over the joint. Capillary action will draw it in.
