Canopy Dip Help Required Please

[Dr. Quack]

So Quack has been busy mashing up a Revell 1/32 Hawk with the intention of spraying it black - and we all know how THAT'S going to end up, don't we children?

Anyway, the problem arises before paint gets anywhere near it.

'Big Canopy', thinks Quack. 'Better dip it in some clear stuff.'

After washing rinsing and drying the canopy, he dips it into a washed-rinsed-dried vat of near-new Humbrol Clear, and covers it to keep the dandruff off....with fairly disastrous results.

Said canopy is now coated with an uneven, pitted-looking layer of not-very-Clear, even after a second dip.

Question is how to recover the situation....Can this stuff be removed to strip back to clear plastic?  I have W&N Galleria Gloss - can that be used to dip / spray?

Any advice gratefully received.....

If you wash it in some household ammonia cleaner, it should remove every trace of the Clear. I've had to do it a couple of times this year and it worked well.

 

Hope this helps,

Mark.

Ammonia - thanks for the tip Mark.

Standard window cleaner with ammonia should do it.
