So I went down to the local Home Depot and got all the parts to make my own pair of [Ecto Goggles](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/mattel-ecto-goggles). I’ve read the various threads on painting and will cross that bridge when I get to it. My question is, what sort of glue are you all using to glue the different parts together? Are there different glues because of the various surface types (PVC, plexiglas, & metal)? ---

While looking through everyone’s built goggles to get painting ideas, I noticed that everyone has the same decals on their goggles. Where is everyone getting them? ---

Started on my goggles today. Got the painting and sealing done. I tried using Hot Glue to glue everything together, but it’s not working that well. So I’m going to look for some other type of stronger glue agent.

I printed mine off onto normal paper, covered it with large packing tape, cut it out, and glued it on.
