I've been trying lately to use the testors window maker myself with horrible results. While the Elmers white glue does yellow over time, has anyone tried the elmers gel? I just made some windows using it and so far it's worked beautifully. It spreads great with my putty knife and is drying now. The ...

Thanks jock.

I actually found out that they make fader boards. Hopefully I can find somewhere close by to buy one as I hate waiting on parts to arrive from shipping :D
