Bim 360 Glue Windows Download ((INSTALL))

The foam roller created a gorgeous frosted effect, and the food coloring made the windows look like custom stained glass. Asia made sure to tape off the painted trim before applying to prevent mess and potential staining..
Of course, this DIY came with a lot of questions from commenters, including if the food coloring stained the window trim regardless of the tape, how easily the glue peels off, and if the sun was going to melt the glue.
You've actually gotten CA on the windows - not just a fog from using CA near it? If so, your only recourse is to start sanding it off. Once you've gotten below the CA, start using progressively finer grits until you can polish the plastic with Novus #2 or Tamiya Polishing Compound (start with coarse - then fine - then finish). At this point, you should have no scratches and the surface should be clear. If your problem is fog, use a Q-Tip dipped in alcohol (learned this from Snake). It should clean right off.
It MIGHT be possible to scrape superglue off the styrene with a fingernail or a "chisel" made from plastic or wood (no metal--it'll scratch the plastic). This sometimes works, but only sometimes. If not, you'll have to sand and polish. But don't sweat it, it's not an impossible job, and kinda fun once you learn how.
Not sure the difference between tube glue and what I used, it might be good to say exactly what i was using. I think it's more fog then actual glue, the glue I'm using is cheap dollar store style super glue if that makes a difference.
Try soaking in water overnight. water will eventually soften and weaken it. Do not use suprglue for windows, you are asking for trouble. Try a good PVA glue like Formula 560 Canopy Glue or Microscale Krystal Klear. It can be rubbed right off or wiped off with water on a Q-Tip. It does take awhile to setup but the safety factor is worth it. It holds very well when dry.
Yeah I can see your guys point about super glue. My last build (as this is only #2 some i was 10) I used Elmer's wore glue, it worked great for my lights but left me feeling unsure for the glass. I thought i could out smart the risk with super glue by song the glass into place and running a small bread around the outside of the glass, went well on the rear window other than fogging, blew up like grenade on the windshield. I'll post some pics soon of what happens after the clean up.
I use several glue types when I build models and each one for different purposes.
I use Revell Contacta Professional cement type glue for most of the basic assemblys on the model, after 40 years of modeling and trial and error it's the best I have tried so far.
I use thin brush type liquid cement for some things, especially when to mate two surfaces such as glueing the engine block halves together and similar things, I use cement glue first and put the halves together, when dried I brush the liquid glue on top of the joint and it will melt the plastic and loosen up the cement some and after it has dried completely and after sanding the joints are invisible without any use of putty.
I use a couple different super glues thin and gel type and epoxi glue for details that aren't styrene plastic and for resin parts.
I use white glue type kristal klear or similar for windows.
And finally, I also use enamel clear coat to glue photo etched emblems and such on the body after it's painted.
I never use super glue for windows as I don't want to take the risk of fogging the clear parts up wich the super glue does, so I use Kristal Klear and sometimes a little epoxi for extra strength here and there to glue them in.
The Window Management API lets you create and manipulate windows and is the basis of the App Management API.It allows users to group Glue42 Windows so that they move, maximize and minimize together,and provides the following features, not found in any normal browser:
Native apps, as opposed to web apps, can have more than one window. After you Glue42 enable your native app,your app windows aren't automatically registered as Glue42 Windows. You can choose which ones to register as Glue42 Windowsso that they can use Glue42 Enterprise functionalities.
OMG I love love love it! what a brilliant idea. I don't mind mess and if they love doing it and you do or would have when you were young give it a go. I'm in search in OZ for the glue pens for sure - an activity ofor a rainy day. Thank you for sharing
What a gorgeous window!
We did this on the bottom half of our back door one summer and it looked great. It was strangely easy to peel off once it started to look manky with condensation and muck.
We have those glue pens in the pound shop by us and I prefer them to glues ticks which are always drying out - unless you leave them with the id off in the garden in which case they keep damp!
So, so beautiful. My two would love this. We're going to do one on our back storm door. Here's a link to the glue pens on Amazon: -Depot-Glue-Pen-Fl-oz/dp/B003RPLMSY/ref=sr_1_24?ie=UTF8&s=automotive&qid=1276996867&sr=8-24.

That looks super fun and awesome! We need a way to block the view from our windows (the dog likes to bark at people), but we like to have the curtains open. This might just be the thing!
Thanks for such a great idea!
Love it. As soon as I saw this pic I said: "WOW!" I love gorgeous art like that! I remember using those glue pens as a kid too (I'm in Canada) but don't see them around anymore!

This is brilliant! I love the way it looks - the light glowing through the tissue paper, and I love the fact that this is something your children created together!
I'm eyeballing my windows now, trying to decide which one to try this on. I'm thinking the window in our front door -- we can't put up curtains and don't want to completely block the light, but would like to make it more opaque. Now you've got me thinking...
Please let us know how long this lasts, and how it is to clean up!
Be sure to tell the kids about darling old Mr. Matisse (find in the book Discovering Great Artists), how he became so ill and bedridden that he could no longer paint;so next, being an insatiable artist, he began to cut paper into wild shapes to make collages. And in fact, stained glass windows were made from his designs. His story is a fascinating one for children. And his art style is one they will love and appreciate.

I positively adore this! Saw it on Ohdeedoh and wish my daughter was old enough to do this already. We have two front windows that need something for privacy but haven't found anything I love. And I love this. Would it be so awful for me to do it myself? I can take it down and let my daughter do it when she is older :)
Thank you for the inspiration!!!
I remember these glue pens from grade school here in the USA. I will be keeping an eye out for them during school-supply season so my boys can try this on our glass storm door. Love this idea, and you post such gorgeous pictures. Thanks!
wow, so great, and so glad you're showing us not to be afraid of glueing things on windows! I'm going to link to this on my weekly linking party at creativejewishmom.com so I can share it with my readers. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for the inspiration! My oldest spent hours putting tissue paper on the dining room window and it looked beautiful. We couldn't find glue pens, but Elmers Clear School Glue Gel and a paint brush worked wonderfully. Now, if we could just convince her two yr old twin sisters to stop pealing it off the window...
@Paula = could you have your kids do the bottom of the window - perhaps 2/3 up so you could see them AND have privacy and some color??? I LOVE this and am going out to get tissue and glue to do this in my art room window - it's P E R F E C T!!!
I'm very exicted to try this at home and hope our 2 year old has the attention span that your girls do! Here is a link to Staples where you can order the glue pens 2 for $1.29

I really love your blog - very unique :) And very inspiring! My 4 year old has a list going now of all the projects she wants to try from here :) I've added you to my favorite blogs on my side bar - definitely not a blog to be missed :) There will be tissue paper stained glass windows popping up all over the place I'm sure ;) A sort of a signal - ahhhh you read the Filth Wizard too ;) ... Thank you for the inspiration :)
came here via the artful parent via this post - what a fabulous idea, we'll be doing that as soon as i have willing children (yeah, you try and stop them!) and some glue pens (am in the UK and hopefully they're still easy to source)
thanks for a wonderful idea

Hi there!
I just had to write and let you know we tried this and it turned out fantastic! I couldn't find those glue pens so I substituted blue Elmer's school gel and a foam brush. We started with a heart shape for Valentine's Day and now we're expanding it to cover the entire back door. We have south eastern exposure and having breakfast with the sun pouring in over the colors is GORGEOUS!

LOVE your ideas, keep 'em coming!
OH my gosh! This is one of the BEST things I've ever seen! It's beautiful and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, that it looks like it's in a main room of your house. I'd keep it on my windows as long as possible too - I bet when the sun hits it full on it's simply stunning!
Wasn't able to view all of the comments, but instead of glue you can use Liquid Laundry Starch. I have made these for years and I've always used the starch. It's also a great way to decorate glass vases (on the outside) and glass balls for the holidays......
