Brass to Styrene adhesive

[Tim CooperParticipant @timcooper90034]

Has anyone found an adhesive that will work for a thin brass windscreen to clear styrene?

Super glue fogs the styrene, Canopy glue and Evostik does not work. I am slowly getting a fragile bond with Evostik Serious Glue but it seems to be a bit hit and miss.

The screen is for a Italeri S100, so it's 7 small panes or in this case pains!

After using canopy glue for a long time I was recommended to use double-sided tape – specifically a type called Stix2 Anything. It works a treat between clear acetate and painted wood so as long as you degrease the brass first I see no reason why it should be any less effective for your purpose. It really is a swine to shift once it's on! You can buy it in various different widths to suit Stix2 tape

Thanks to NH-P for this tip, BTW.

Thanks Dave

I might give that a try if the last two I have to do fail (again!).
