                        try taking a cotton swab dipped in future floor polish and carefully clean the area - you'll probably want to do all the clear parts because it will be noticably "cleaner" looking

                        I bought some of that stuff to spray when i'm done with my current project. Should I spray it on the aircraft without the canopy, and spray a glossy coat for the canopy and then glue it? or just do the whole thing in flat finish?

                        HEY,
                        I agree with merlin. It happered to me when i was glueing the windsheild on to a car and a little glue got on it. Not much but you could tell. I would think that if it works with glue it will work a dull coat.

                        I agree with Merlin. It sounds like a job for the Micro-Mesh sanding kit. Big Smile [:D]

                        No, don't try using acetone, you will absolutely kill it!
                        Probably your best bet is to try sanding it off using progressively finer grades of sandpaper then polish it and give it the Future treatment.

                        Acetone and clear plastic do not mix

                        I think acetone will do some damage to the plastic...

                        Acetone may take it off, but test it on a piece of clear sprue first, just to be safe. I would hate to mess up the plastic.
