Zap Canopy Glue

The Crystal-Clear, Non-Fogging Adhesive for Windows & Trim

Zap Canopy Glue (formerly known as Formula 56) is a world-class adhesive designed specifically for clear plastics and vinyl. Unlike standard super glues that "out-gas" and ruin clear parts with white fogging, Canopy Glue dries completely transparent. It creates a flexible, shock-resistant bond that withstands high-speed vibration, making it a staple for every RC modeller’s workbench.

Why Modellers & Crafters Choose Canopy Glue:
  • Dries Crystal Clear: Perfect for aircraft canopies, car windows, and scale light lenses where a "factory-clean" look is essential.
  • Vibration Resistant: The flexible bond acts as a shock absorber, preventing clear parts from popping off during high-stress flights or drives.
  • Safe & Easy to Use: A non-toxic, water-based formula that is safe for children and allows for easy water clean-up while wet.
Targeted Applications RC Aircraft & Scale Modelling

Specifically developed for attaching airplane canopies and vacuum-formed ABS parts. Because it migrates into small cracks via capillary action, it forms a complete, airtight seal around windscreens and windows. It is also excellent for bonding plastic detail parts to painted airframes without damaging the finish.

Arts, Crafts & DIY

An exceptional multi-purpose craft glue. Its ability to bond dissimilar materials makes it ideal for projects involving wood, clay, plaster, foam, and fabrics. Its non-toxic nature makes it the go-to choice for school projects and hobbyists with chemical sensitivities.

Pro-Tips for a Perfect Finish
  • Fitment Matters: For the strongest bond, trim your parts for the closest fit possible. The smaller the gap, the more effectively the glue can migrate under the seam to create a seal.
  • Patience for Clarity: The glue appears white when applied but will turn clear as it cures. Use tape or clamps to secure parts for several hours. While it sets quickly, allow 24 hours for the bond to reach full structural strength.
  • Clean-Up: Excess glue can be easily wiped away with a damp cloth before it sets.

Storage Note: As a water-based formula, Zap Canopy Glue must be protected from freezing. Store in a cool, dry place above 5°C to maintain its chemical integrity.
