Smarter modelling indeed! This looks like a really useful product so I can retire the old standbys.

John, please let us know how well this works. I've got Zoukei Mura's Ho229 with all the clear plastic parts. Been afraid to start it in fears of fogging the plastic.
The company's video did look nice though.....
Thanks !

As soon as I sit my a$$ down and build something with a windshield/headlight, I'll let you know!


I applied the solution to the bottom of a spare piece of clear plastic, then with a steady hand, placed it to the top of a unpainted gun shield of old artillery piece. My intent was to duplicate a window on a door. It worked great! No fog, no crazing, no smoked edging. Now, will it act like glue and be steady to the touch? Seems to do so! Looks like this will change how we all work with clear plastic.
