Jim, Black car cement was in use on freight cars throughout the 1940s and well into the 1950s if not later. As an example, Pullman-Standard used black car cement extensively during the 1950s to coat

Sorry, I mean canopy glue, for those who noticed my unreferenced 'it'. RG7

Is it less stringy than Shoe Goo? I've had good success, meaning no detachments (failures), with this on attaching stainless roofwalks to cars. I also try very hard not to expose these things to

Hi, Wasn't roof cement essentially the same stuff that we see today when a crew is doing "hot mopping"? But applied a bit thinner and without heating? As it wasn't it just a form of tar/petroleum

Testors has a canopy or clear plastic glue. It is something akin to a modified white glue. Micro Krystal Klear (or Crystal Clear) also works the same way. The flexible metal to plastic adhesive

Tim mentions Microscale Krystal Kleer, not quite the same stuff, but effective. The air modeler's canopy glue for years was Wilhold R/C-56 (for Radio/Control), no longer produced. Now JZ Products
