Glue for RC model 560 Canopy Glue 56 grams

Compatible Materials

Pacer Technology states that PT-56 adheres effectively to:

• transparent plastics (canopies)
• thermoformed ABS
• vinyl
• butyrate
• wood
• fiberglass
• painted surfaces
• MonoKote type heat-shrink coverings
• foam
• fabric
• canvas
• plaster
• clay
• ceramic

It is therefore used well beyond simple aeronautical modeling.

Recommended Applications

According to Pacer Technology, this adhesive is particularly suitable for:

• bonding RC aircraft canopies
• bonding model glazing
• bonding transparent parts
• attaching thermoformed ABS parts
• bonding flexible hinges of RC models
• creative leisure activities requiring a flexible and transparent adhesive.

Instructions for Use

The manufacturer recommends:

1. Fit the parts as closely as possible.
2. Apply a thin bead of adhesive.
3. Hold the parts with adhesive tape or clamps.
4. Allow to dry for approximately 3 hours before handling.
5. Wait 24 hours for maximum strength.

The adhesive naturally penetrates into small gaps and forms a continuous seal. The closer the fit, the stronger the bond will be.

Drying Time

• Handling: 3 hours
• Full curing: 24 hours

Temperature and humidity influence drying time.

Packaging

• Bottle of 2 oz (approximately 59 ml or 56 g depending on distributors).
• Manufacturer reference: PT-56.

Storage

The manufacturer recommends:

• keep the bottle tightly closed;
• absolutely avoid freezing, as the formula is water-based;
• estimated shelf life: 1 year when properly stored.

Why do model makers appreciate this glue?

American websites highlight several advantages:

• does not cause a white haze on transparent canopies;
• remains slightly flexible, limiting cracks due to vibrations;
• excellent transparency after drying;
• very easy to clean before drying;
• safer to use than cyanoacrylates on transparent parts.

In practice, the PT-56 is considered a reference in the United States for bonding model canopies, both in aeromodeling and plastic modeling, thanks to its perfectly transparent drying and excellent compatibility with transparent plastics.
