Honcho lights are dewing....
 

After I glued the headlight "inlays" to the honcho body yesterday, the inside of the lights are dewing...I believe its some kind of chemical reaction from the glue I used. I used superglue, maybe not a good idea...?
But if I use some kind of cleaner liquid and squirt into the headlights, they becom clear and nice again, for about 30 sec...and then they start dewing again.
Did anyone understand what I meant_? Sorry for some weird english:)
And if you did understand, do you have any tips or ideas on how to keep them clear? Looks really bad with lights in them now.....

It sounds like you may have gotten some glue on the lenses and that turns them cloudy. You can put some clear paint, it might clear it some what.

The fumes from CA glue will do that. When working with clear stuff it is best to use that window glue made by Testors...

I dont think I got glue on the lenses, but its possible. But the weird thing is that when I use a cleaning liquid it becomes clear again, until the liquid drys up, then its going back to cloudy...
Do you think it will help to remove the lights again, clean up good and try with another glue?

if you take the lights out, try cleaning the lens again and then wait and see if it clouds back up. That should be able to tell you if the dried glue is what's doing it or not.

X2 what JeremyH said,I used super glue gel to glue a panel in my body and the fumes turn the plastic white around the glue. When I tried to clean the white off it did what you describe. I got most of it off the a lot of elbow grease and rubbing alcohol it was all I had at the time.

I've had that happen on a plastic model once, learned from there out never to use CA on clear plastic that was supposed to stay clear!

If you can find a floor polish product called Future Floor Polish, now made by Johnson's, it works great for fixing that CA glue fog. I've used it on model airplane canopies.
I think in England it's Johnson's Klear. Not sure if it's sold where you are.
If you can find it, it's cheap, and a bottle will last a lifetime of hobby use.

Here is the glue I was referring to earlier:

My LHS doesnt sell this, but the local model train shop does. "thumbsup"

Thanks for the tips guys.
I tokk off the lights again and cleaned them with the only thing I got right now, called "brake cleaner" at my local hardware store.
And it removed almost all of it!:)
So it didnt turn out so bad afterall, and Ive learned what not to do the next time Im gluing around clear areas"thumbsup"
At the bottom in this thread theres a pic on how it is now:¨http://www.norcc.com/vb/showthread.php?9012-Krise!!lyktene-p%E5-Honhco-karosseriet-quot-dugger-quot

Canopy glue would be appropriate for this. http://www.google.com/search?client=...w=1278&bih=699

I've seen that stuff at Hobby Lobby, might even try Micheal's (just don't use your debit card;-) )too

I used that stuff on the last plastic model I finished to install the lights and window glass, stuff worked good too"thumbsup"

I havent tried it, but its a thought, CA glue remover. Let us know if you try it and if it works. Thanks

When you scratch a piece of clear plastic/ glass, etc. you see that the scratches are noticeable, but when you add clear liquid to the scratched surface the water will fill in the scratches simulating a flat plane, and therefore hiding scratches.
You may have scratched, or gotten glue on the surface, and the water will seal the cracks making it appear that is does not have any scratches or glue on there.
