HELP Need a substitute for clear glue

I ordered some Modelers clear adhesive from HLJ a long time ago and its still on backorder so I have cancelled the order. The problem is I can't find a hobby shop that sells clear glue anywhere, can anyone recommend a good substitute for clear glue?

When I'm out of clear glue, I use wood glue. You know, the white one..(?) It works fine for me. hope this helps

Another vote for plain old white glue. If you look around you can likely find stuff that will say 'dries clear' on the bottle.

White glue works well, but I prefer Micro Kristal Kleer. Its white glue-based but dries absolutely clear.

BOOSTD head down to your local hobby shop, or a newsagent, or a junk type shop, and get yourself some PVA glue. It works a treat, and it's cheap as (like $3 for a large bottle).

Ahhhh i never knew you could use wood glue! I have a tone of the stuff LOL

I will use it on those anoying headlights

Does the wood glue strip the paint like super glue does?
