hi all,
i'm wondering what is the the best way to attach 1/35 clear resin bottles to a model. i seem to remember that using super glue is a big mistake as it fogs up the resin... can anyone recommend a glue or the best way to attach them to a plastic kit.
thanks

Aircraft guys will dip a canopy/glass parts in future to prevent fogging from super glue.

PVA white glue, the simplest and safest way for sure ... dries transparent, and will not fog the clear parts.

I have used Pledge (Future) gloss coat to secure resin "water bottles" as it looks like a wet spot. Not too strong but Future will also hold an aircraft model canopy in place.

Or you simply jam them in someplace where no one can fool with them.

I've used both flat varnish and sand/gravel fixer without issue.
