ive never tried the Krystal clear. was using the testors to glue in the acetate until i found this trick. oddly enough it was in the instructions of a wood kit.
Another bloody thing to add to the shopping list, thanks... This is great stuff, I'll have to try it on some of my rail cars that I'm doing. I know in the past I put drops of glue into the water to get glazing, but this is much faster and easier. Thanks for sharing buddy.
Great tip, seen this done a few times in Model caboose cars that way they are not just open holes. Definitely makes nice N scale windows, see ya Rick... happy modeling
Where you been 😁😁, I can't believe you just learned this ! I've seen a few people use it . That stuff is pretty cool . I haven't seen the toothpick trick so that was a good one . 👍👍
@@FBMRR I've used it for years, but some complain about the distorted look (which I love). But I always just smear it on with a toothpick rather than applying to the window frame first.
Here's a little hint: Prick or pop a bubble in the middle of the window. then it'll look like someone threw a rock thru the window. (p.s. Acid Tape, for the longest time I thought they meant a Psychedelic recording on a cassette)..
I use this method on built rail cars I get that I can’t get apart and glue clear plastic from the inside. I’ve also used this stuff to make head lights on locomotives. Microscale Kristal Klear is very similar.
Hey Der Rick, I have used the Testors stuff in the past, works great. However, I since switched to Micro Kristal Klear from MicroScale Industries. There are a few reasons why I switched, 1) For me it was easier to work with, has it's a little thicker 2) It's a little more durable 3) I also build 1/25 scale civilian vehicles, and I use it to glue the windshields in, also for gluing canopies on airplanes. The Testors was a little too thin for those types of models. I appreciate you sharing this tip Rick, I am sure a lot of folks will find this tip useful. Happy Modeling Bud!
Another great tip Rick, I guess all of your weathering should be done first unless you want dirty windows. Where would I get a squeegee that small? Saw your comment on Dave CRE about the only snakes you see are the ones you use in your toilet, so now you’re calling that twig a snake? 🤥
squeegee now thats funny... twig? certainly i was not talking about a "twig" of an kind. but rather a snake tool used for unclogging toilets. Thanks for watching.
So Rick one way I treat my window glazing, is to lighty sand both sides. It will give a aged look. Try it and let me know what you think. Also Elmer's glue works almost the same.
Great tip Rick. I've used Microscale Krystal Klear but never tried the Testors

Very informative! Thanks for sharing this with us.
any time. hope it helps. thanks for watching.
Cool discovery and demonstration. Thanks for the new technique.
I didn't see many videos on this and I found it amazing. Thanks for watching.
Great tip Rick. Thanks David @LCRR
You are welcome David. This is my go to method now.
Another bloody thing to add to the shopping list, thanks...

Thanks for sharing buddy.
Glad you like it. Look in the comments. So others users listed some other glues that do the same. Thanks for watching buddy.
Nice one, Rick. I had seen some guys say to do this, but never seen it done. Nice work!
Thanks Opa. It's now my go to method. Thanks for watching.
Cool Rick…have seen that before but forgot about it…thanks for reminding me
Anytime man. Can't wait to see someone use it.
Great tip, seen this done a few times in Model caboose cars that way they are not just open holes. Definitely makes nice N scale windows, see ya Rick... happy modeling
I like that it has the warped old fashion look. Thanks for watching.
Who was the guy at the beginning of the video? Short hair and clean shaven.
Canopy Glue
He stops by every 8-12 weeks... canapy glue does the same?
Hell I'm still trying to figure out Windows 10..! Nice tips Rick
Oh Bernard.. now that's funny. Thanks for watching.

I don't know... like I said if I thought "glazing" was just using clear film. But I'm doing this from now on.

Yes I did remove some on the next build like the hole idea.. Acid tape..... Lynn you Crack me up.
That's trippy Lynn

I was surprised when I figured it out. Now I'm getting all the good ideas. Thanks for watching dude.
lol i made video how to use this stuff over a years ago so did ralph greenwood too lol
Guess I'm behind the times. Neither one of those videos came up in a search.
@@FBMRR bummer

Where are the windows from?
The windows are from a kit that you will see coming up in my next video. Thanks for watching.

Great tip.. I'll give it a go.. thanks for watching.
glossy mod podge works just as well and is more durable and cheaper!
Thanks for the tip Dark Lord. I will check it out. Thanks for the sub. Keep on watching.
