I've heard newspaper works too...

it has been some time, however I had a set that were very hazy with surface hairline cracks. I started with 800 grit and got no where. Started again with 320 and sanded aggressively using a DA/ Dry. Canopy turned "white" and I removed a lot of material. Thought I ruined the canopy, but I worked my way up to 1000 and the canopies came out great and very clear
A work of caution - too much time in one spot will create a "lens" and even though it is clear you may have a spot that is magnified. Keep you sanding tools moving. |

There is a kit called Micromesh which is ideal... newer ones are 550kt. If I remember correctly, 3 layers composed of polycarbonate on the inside and outside and acrylic in the middle. Any aircraft mechanic can point you in the right direction to a company in your area that provides the service. If they are crazing (little hairline cracks in the acrylic), there is nothing you can do but call Skater. http://www.texstars.com/files/File/P...ansparency.pps |
