DrGlueblob Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Hi all, I've been on hiatus from model building for the last some years. I remember buying these bottles of Elmer's Gel Glue and Washable Clear School Glue back then, but I can't remember what I was going to use them in place of. I know this sounds kinda dumb, but I appreciate any feedback from my fellow modellers. Chip Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy Snap Captain Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 (edited) Possibly to glue clear parts like canopies and the like. Super glue or "normal" modelling glues like Tamiya or Tenax sometimes craze or fog up these parts. HTH. Edited November 19, 2013 by Crazy Snap Captain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
itsonlyakit Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Maybe you bought the washable clear glue for securing ground work materials for a diorama ? Cheers Eh! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B-17 guy Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Elmers can also be used for masking. For examole I use it inside the fuselage at the points where a floor or IP would atatch to the fuselage halves. Run a skinny bead before painting, when your done and need to remove it, just use a dental pick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jim S Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 In addition to all of the great ideas above, works for masking canopies too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrGlueblob Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 Thanks for the replies! I remember I was going to use it for seam masking some long-forgotten airplane... So, can thinned? Elmers white glue be used for masking canopies? Use it straight? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CrowTRobot Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) So, can thinned? Elmers white glue be used for masking canopies? Use it straight? Yes, you can thin it with water. It also helps to add a drop of food coloring to add some contrast. Edited November 20, 2013 by CrowTRobot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
