ORIGINAL: Airplanes400

Use Elmers White glue. It's the exact same stuff as Formula 560 Canopy Glue that is sold by Pacer.
Also, JZ RC-56 re-packages Elmers glue and markets it under their brand. It's all the same stuff ... Elmer's White glue.

I've used Elmers for many years, it holds extremely well, never failed, and provides a strong bond to paint, lexan, Monokote, and every other plastic coating. Plus, Elmers is the least expensive. Pacer and JZ are nearly 6x more expensive!!!
This is interesting. I'll have to look into this. Having used Elmers glue for years, I must have missed the correlation. Elmers does dry fairly clear, but gets more hard and brittle. I'm going to compare the stuff side by side after your post. It would save money if it worked just the same, even if it isn't quite the same formula.
