Product overview

GSW Acrylic Crystal Glue creates transparent joins on canopies, clear bases, lenses, display cases and similar visible parts without the clouding associated with cyanoacrylate vapours. The water-based acrylic adhesive flows into narrow seams, dries invisible and remains flexible and clear rather than yellowing over time. Its 5–30-minute drying window, depending on ambient temperature and application thickness, gives time to align a canopy or lens before the adhesive sets. It can also fill small gaps between clear parts or form convex drops for gems and vehicle headlights.

Fine glue-applicator tips are recommended for controlled placement on small parts and narrow seams.
Small gaps between transparent parts can be filled with a result that dries invisible.
Convex drops can be formed over a metallic silver or chrome-painted recess to create lenses, headlights or gems.
The adhesive dries in approximately 5–30 minutes, allowing the position to be adjusted before it sets.
It contains no solvents and does not produce the vapours that cause clear parts to cloud.
It is safe to use around XPS and EPS foam without melting them, but it is not suitable for bonding EVA foam.

Notes · Q & A

When is a water-based modelling glue the right choice?

Choose one when you need time to position a part, easy clean-up or a discreet result around delicate materials. White PVA suits porous materials, card, wood and scenery, while specialist clear glue is intended for canopies, lenses and similar transparent parts where visible adhesive residue would be a problem.

How does thinning PVA with water change how it is used?

Diluting white PVA lowers its viscosity so it can spread through sand, gravel or ballast instead of remaining as a thick bead. A mixture of about 50% water, distributed with a brush, is the usual starting point. Use undiluted glue where a more concentrated application is needed, such as fixing individual stones, tufts or vegetation.

How should I attach a canopy or another clear part?

Apply a small amount of transparent modelling glue along the joint with its fine applicator, then place the clear component and adjust it while the glue remains workable. Avoid flooding the seam. A specialist clear glue dries without visible marks and can fill small gaps more discreetly than an opaque white adhesive.

What should I do about excess glue or a mispositioned part?

Remove excess before the glue dries. Water-based PVA can be wiped away with water and a cloth, while fresh clear glue can be lifted from a part with a damp cloth. Where the clear component is misaligned, reposition it during the available working time rather than waiting until the adhesive has dried.
