Good window filler?

What's the best stuff to use for windows? I usually use either epoxy or superglue, but is there a better alternative?

Greetings,
I use Testors clear parts cement and window maker. Works great. I have attached a link for it. I get it a Tower Hobbies, but I'm sure a hobby store would have it. Good Luck

I use Microscale Industries' Micro Krystal Klear. You can pick it up at just about any well stocked hobby store. It's also great for gluing canopies.

Elmers Glue works well for me. Stretch a thin membrane of it across the opening and it will dry clear. A dab or clear enamel paint after that will make it shiny and glassy.

I've never used this stuff before, when masking off a window 'hole' from the outside, won't the tack from the tape stick to the liquid when the liquid is applied from the inside?

Sorry for the moronic question...

not really... I think you are asking a great point.

Hello MillenniumFalsehood,
My name is William Parkar and i have joined in this forum just two days
ago so i am very newbie to this forum. I have a little knowledge of lighting
effects and want to know more about it. I have used epoxy , superglue and
Microscale Industries' Micro Krystal Klear. I want to know that is it good? or
i have to use another?

Well, I haven't yet used Krystal Klear, but in regard to the other two:

Epoxy I've found cures to a lemon-yellow color.

Superglue is extremely cloudy and is only partially transparent.

I've heard you can use clear resin to fill windows, but I don't know what kind.

One method I've found works on small windows is to cut a CD Jewelcase into strips approximately as wide as the window is tall, file the tip until it has a snug fit in the window, insert it tightly into the window frame, scribe and snap it off. This will leave a small window which is hard plastic and clear as day.
