I have had great luck using Zap, or Hot Stuff, which is a faster acting CA than Crazy Glue. Also, I use a straight dental pic to apply just a tiny amount at a time to what I am working on. This alone has stopped the white haze on windows and parts. (CA has excellent capillary action, and bonds perfectly with just a small drop lifted by the pic and sucked in by the parts.) Just put a couple of drops on a paper plate, or unimportant (read: eventually disposable) surface. Take the pic and "roll" it in the drops. Touch the point of the pic to the joint your gluing. If you don't disturb it, it instantly holds the two pieces while it dries. Wait a minute or two, then add a little more in the same manner. If the pic gets too full of dried glue (a whole structure or two later,) scrape it with a hobby knife. If you must use the "gel" forms of CA, put very little on the parts. This has worked great for me, and I even use it for windows and "glass" parts on my models without the smoke of the CA (white haze.)
