foggy cement

i notice a lot of times after i glue pieces to the model (especially headlights or tail lights) that a white fog devolopes on the plasic after the cement dries, i think beacause the plastic has melted turning it white. anyways i was just wonderinghow to stop this for happening. your comments are appreciated

Very kind of you to mention exactly what glue you are using.

Krystal Kleer, Elmers glue, Testors clear parts cement, these are the only things I can think to use with clear parts glueing.

Regular plastic model cement and CA glue are not suitable for clear parts glueing.

This stuff fogs? Hardly. It's even used to make aircraft windows. Just use it sparingly because it doesn't get tacky very quickly.

If you are using CA/Superglue, it leaves a white residue as that is the glue vapour drying as it evaporates. Normal styrene cement glues by melting the plastic together.

To reiterate the others Kristal Klear/PVA woodglue is ideal for clear parts. It takes longer to dry, but is fairly tough when dry and also dries clear. If you made a mistake, it is easy to remove the part and start again.
