Ok, this is absolutely not true. RC 56 is canopy glue. I think RC 56 is made by Pacer. It dries clear and is flexible. Elmers (PVA) dries much too stiff for this purpose. It is similar, but not the same. Now that you know the name, finding it should be easy.
No you are quite wrong.
I didn't believe it either. Someone else made this assertion here some time ago which I highly doubted.
I said the same as you too at the time, so I decided to research it a bit to test his assertion.
Much to my surprise I found that he was absolutely correct.
I found a PDF file online from the glue manufacturer ( Pacer ) given to the English Government's health division. It was produced for toxilogical reporting purposes in England so Pacer could sell Canopy Glue there...
It listed the chemicals, percentages, etc... in great detail. I compared it against the white glue fomulations.
Canopy Glue is nothing more than ''white glue'' in a slightly thinner mix.
Gorish: White glue doesn't dry with a yellowish cast. Were you using a different glue... e.g. a wood type white glue?
I was unable to locate anything on line, perhaps you could locate the report for us?? I'm with other Gene, I have never had any luck with anything other then canopy glue or CA. With CA it will fog the plastic but I have used it with a tinted canopy.I have used colored tape with good results too. The build I'm on now will be using a canopy from a plane I crashed but used tape so it's in like new condition.
