Author Topic: Fixing glazing for windows?  (Read 374 times)

Long time no post, but I try to build more and post less.

But now I am in desperate need of good advice.

How do you fix  microscope coverslip glazing to your windows? I have room for very little overhang on my glazing, so I need a glue that will not seep onto the visible parts of the glazing.

Any advice on this will be *much* appreciated!

Hello Hauk

Glass and metal can be stuck to the top with a glass adhesive from the jeweler.

The glue dries, moreover, on clear glass.

I have heard of a canopy glue (for model airplanes) , but I am not familiar with it.

I use canopy glue, but it is pretty thick.   If it runs over onto the glass, I can trim it off but this makes for tedious work.
Never tried the jewelers glue, sounds interesting.

When I did mine I used Elmer's white glue.  Once it dried it was easy to pick off the glass.

I used this after reading the Mic Greenberg  Winow tip sheet.
