What do peeps on here generally use to bond canopies on? I've seen so many suggestions across the net, I just wondered if there was common agreement here, or a very diverse range of methods as elsewhere.

Yup, Gator is very good.

I've also got some Formula 560 which is described on the bottle as 'The World's Best Canopy Glue' which I'm partial to! :drink:

What's this Formula 560 you speak of rich? I also have used Gator glue so far, just fishing to see what else is out there and people's preferences.

Ok, Googled it and found the Zap product. Most of their stuff is pretty good, so might pick some up.

Which CA exactly, no secrets here.

Deluxe materials Glue 'n' Glaze is my weapon of choice usually.
Though I have used Tamiya Extra thin with success too, especially if it is a perfect fit, you can actually see the glue running along with capillary action as the parts are clear, and as it dries quite quickly, there is no fear of fogging the parts.

I just use any old CA Rich. Usually one that I find laying around at work, Loctite of some sort or another. CA for gappy canopies, Mr S for ones that fit.

Any brand of CA for me but as usual make sure it is Klear/Future dipped so it doesn't fog.
