I've done it this time folks !! ...

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.

I use simple green.

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?

Castrol Super Clean is the best.

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

what kind of paint do u need to strip? these will work...
brake fluid, Castrol super clean, easy off oven cleaner, straight amonia (if its acryl)
be careful when using them, coz theyre pretty toxic!!
