Greetings,
I have two large clear plastic parts to glue together. I know I could use PVA/Gators Grip glue. Has anyone ever tried watch makers glue used for securing crystals to watches? I'm wondering if this would be a good choice?
Thank you
Dave

Yes & yes, read the instructions first & practice on a not-important target first though

I think that glue is solvent based, it may craze the clear plastic. Watch crystals are glass so it doesnt bother the glass. Gator grip is a good glue and drys clear.

Is this glue similar to super glue , or can the residue be cleaned off with a solvent ?
