STAY AWAY FROM THIS! It will heat the plastic as it cures and deform it.

I use this for gluing small clear parts

I use small drops of crazy glue to glue windshields. I make sure I apply it as far away from anywhere that's visible just in case the glue fogs the clear part. I use Zap-A-Gap (the green labeled bottle). I will sometimes use it to glue parts on the model.

My local hobby shop recommended this glue also from Zap for clear parts. It cures as fast as crazy glue without fogging clear parts. I tested it gluing two clear pieces of plastic (Revell plastic) and it fogged up where the parts attached together. Told my LHS and left them scratching their heads because they swore by it and has experience using it. Came back home and dropped a few drops on another clear piece of plastic (Aoshima model) and it did NOT fog. Left me scratching my head.

I just began using the Tamiya extra thin cement and have been very happy with the results. It's thin enough to get in between the (seam?) two parts put together create and it doesn't leave any glue residue behind that will require sanding and smoothing off. Youtube has reviews on that stuff.
