Non-bleaching glue
Are you looking for a non-bleaching glue after drying? Have you ever noticed a white veil around a collage, particularly on transparent plastic, a model canopy, Plexiglas or a particularly visible part?
The choice of glue is essential.
To obtain a clean, discreet bond adapted to the material, SUPER GLUE COLLE21 offers different solutions depending on the desired result.
Two products particularly deserve your attention:
- the SUPER GLUE Colle21 FLEX 21, a transparent cyanoacrylate glue which retains a certain flexibility;
- the ULTRA GLUE Colle21 & AMMO, a transparent resin glue particularly suitable for canopies, transparent parts, photo-etched parts and assemblies for which the final appearance must remain very clean.
Quick answer: which non-bleaching glue to choose?
👉 For a transparent or highly visible piece on which you want to avoid whiteout, ULTRA GLUE Colle21 is the most directly suitable solution.
👉 For assembly requiring transparent, fast and flexible cyanoacrylate, particularly when materials may be subject to movements or vibrations, FLEX 21 is a more appropriate solution.
Why do some cyanoacrylate glues whiten?
The whitening phenomenon observed with certain instant glues is often called blooming, frosting or whiteout.
During the polymerization of a cyanoacrylate glue, a small quantity of product can be found in the form of vapor and then deposited around the bonding area, particularly in the presence of humidity or contaminants on the surface.
This phenomenon is particularly annoying on:
- transparent plastics;
- the model canopies;
- plexiglass;
- shiny surfaces;
- dark rooms;
- very detailed model creations.
Handling the piece can also promote bleaching
Whitening is not always only linked to glue: fingerprints, perspiration, humidity and greasy residue left by hands can promote the appearance of this white patina upon contact with cyanoacrylate vapors.
Even if a part appears clean, it may have been handled before. It is therefore advisable to always clean and degrease the area carefully before bonding, then allow the surface to dry completely. Also keep your hands clean and avoid touching the part to be glued unnecessarily after cleaning.
Good surface preparation and precise application with little product greatly reduce the risk of visible marks. For transparent or particularly delicate pieces, ULTRA GLUE is specially suited to clean finishes, while FLEX 21 offers a transparent and flexible cyanoacrylate solution.
Which glue to choose to avoid white marks?
It all depends on the material, the desired strength, the drying time and above all the aesthetic importance of the glued area.
ULTRA GLUE Colle21 : the solution for transparent and visible parts
For a cockpit canopy, a piece of transparent plastic or a model element where the slightest trace can become visible, the ULTRA GLUE Colle21 & AMMO constitutes a particularly interesting solution.
This is not a classic cyanoacrylate but a transparent resin glue intended in particular for delicate assemblies.
It was designed for the collage of:
- transparent canopies;
- photo-etched pieces;
- fragile accessories;
- plastic;
- metal ;
- resin;
- cardboard;
- diorama decoration elements.
Its product sheet indicates that it becomes transparent after complete drying and that it is specifically intended for assemblies where you want to avoid visible marks on transparent parts.
Why is ULTRA GLUE interesting for a glass roof?
A model canopy is the perfect example.
A fixing can be technically sound but aesthetically flawed if a white halo appears around the cockpit.
With ULTRA GLUE Colle21, priority is precisely given to the precision and discretion of the collage.
However, there is an important difference to take into account: ULTRA GLUE is not designed to reproduce the almost instantaneous setting of a cyanoacrylate. It therefore corresponds more to the logic:
precision + transparency + finish
than logic:
instant bonding + immediate immobilization.
FLEX 21: when you want a transparent and flexible SUPER GLUE
Some repairs require something other than an invisible finish.
Sometimes the bonding must withstand small deformations, vibrations, movements or shocks.
It is precisely in this logic that the SUPER GLUE Colle21 FLEX 21 becomes interesting.
FLEX 21 is a transparent and flexible cyanoacrylate glue. It can be used for various model making, DIY and multi-material repair work.
Why choose FLEX rather than a classic cyano?
Because extremely rigid bonding is not always the best solution.
When a part works lightly, vibrates or deforms, a formulation retaining a certain flexibility may better correspond to the intended use.
FLEX 21 highlights in particular:
- a flexible formula;
- a transparent finish;
- good adaptation to vibrations and movements;
- precise application;
- a quick catch.

FAQ – Non-bleaching glue?
What glue should I use for a model canopy?
For canopies and visible transparent parts, ULTRA GLUE Colle21 & AMMO is particularly suitable thanks to its transparent finish.
Why can SUPER GLUE leave a white cast?
The phenomenon may come from blooming : Cyanoacrylate vapors may be deposited around the bonding, particularly in the presence of humidity or contaminants.
Can fingerprints cause bleaching?
Yes, they can contribute to the phenomenon because they leave humidity, perspiration and greasy residue on the surface. It is therefore recommended to clean and degrease the part before gluing.
Is FLEX 21 transparent?
Yes. FLEX 21 is a transparent and flexible cyanoacrylate.
What is the difference between FLEX 21 and ULTRA GLUE?
FLEX 21 is a fast and flexible cyanoacrylate.
ULTRA GLUE is a transparent resin glue geared more towards delicate parts, glass roofs and discreet finishes.
Find the right solution in the SUPER GLUE COLLE21 range
The question “what glue that does not whiten? » therefore does not have a universal answer.
For a transparent and highly visible piece, ULTRA GLUE Colle21 represents the solution most directly oriented towards a clean finish.
For assembly requiring transparent cyanoacrylate with greater flexibility, FLEX 21 responds to a different and complementary problem.
This is precisely the advantage of an extended range: adapt the glue to the material, the constraints and the desired result.
