Hello. I'm trying to build a 1/1000 Refit from Polar Lights. I am trying to decide what sort of glue to use to mount the LEDs. I obviously don't want to fog them and something like hot glue is just too thick. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
(I think this is the right board as this has nothing to do with the electronics, but if I need to move this, please just let me know.)
Glue for mounting LEDs

2-part 5 minute clear epoxy works well.

Re: Glue for mounting LEDs
Epoxy is great stuff. Though sometimes I use superglue anyway because it actually doesn't fog the LED in a meaningful way unless you get it on the lens.

+1 for epoxy, or you can even use PVA if you don't need a really strong bond and have time for it to set.

I second the epoxy...you don't need anything fancy,just the 5 min stuff will do.
