Attaching and Masking Clear Acetate Vision Ports

[Piltdown Man]

Maskol doesn't put up much of a fight when you remove it. And the fall back of making your own windows still remains. PVA works well as do the proprietary products like Gator Glue and Microscale's Kristal Klear. If you use these products, don't forget to leave the window in a horizontal position to cure and paint the edges of the frame before making the window.

Chris following what everyone else has input, you could also knock up an inner frame around the opening, trapping the edge of the acetate window and preventing it moving to ensure its not going anywhere fast?

Thanks for all of the tips you fellows have given me. I took the plunge today and so far, all is going well. See:
