I've used alot of stuff to take off paint from my very bad work sometimes Big Smile [:D] I prefer using ELO. It cost's more but works very well for me.

I have a question for you guys. If there is a need to strip the paint, how do you get it from leaking into the cockpit, where you want to keep the paint job?

I was commisioned to refurbish a friends model some time ago and had to strip the very ugly paint job. I used Polly S, ELO and ran into the same delema regarding the canopy. What I ended up doing was to mask the canopy with tape and apply the ELO on the major parts. I then came back to the canopy area using sanding pads to remove any left-over dried paint. This way I had better control and I could be more precise in removing old paint from these critical areas. If I accidentally blimished the clear canopy, I simply went over it with a Tri-pad polishing wand, availble from Squadron. The model was then ready to be re-painted and finished.
