Ckeck out the link below. I am not sure if this is the stuff. If you read the description it says

For professional results each time, use non-crazing Clear Parts Cement & Window Maker.

So is this the glue they are describing? I have been dying to try this stuff to get DRIPPING & PITTED rust results. I heard it looks great.

I found mine at Hobby Lobby, don’t remember seeing it at Hobbytown, bad thing is I asked at my LHS and they looked at me funny, could have been I was in my underwear [;)] Oh, that was a dream…

What is the use of it for rust? I haven’t heard of that?

dthurman,

Check out the link. Is that what I am looking for?

DRIPPING & PITTED RUST

Put a few drops of the Testors Cement where you want the PITTED rust. Before it dries use a dry brush and tab it into the rust power you want to use. You won’t believe what it looks like. They have that gritty, dry rust look. I read that on a link and it worked great. For a better look run the Testors in a small line, like a big scratch and do the same thing.

exactly the same stuff I have here, I used it to make windows in some of my metal vehicles also works great, also best window/glazing glue you can use.

Thanks for the tip on rust, I will have to try that. I weathers some cars with and air brush last night, but I am still liking the dry brush and chalk method, I guess until I get my airbrush skills down. Of course trying to control airbrushing on N scale cars is tough, even tougher when they are MicroTrain $30.00 cars [:O][banghead][censored]

Please look at the link I provided. If that is the stuff then I am going to order some. The weathering effect is outstanding. Glad I could help.

Yes it’s the same stuff.

Here is a picture of mine, so I would say they are the same

Do you have the link to the testors and rust idea? I just tried it and I got so, so results, but that was just plowing into it. I can see it having some good merit. I wonder if this is similar to using hairspray?

BTW Great weathering tip.
