How to clean over spray from canopy dipped in future

Hi all,

 

I am wrapping up the build of a Revell FGR2 and thought the canopies were complete however after removing the masks I noticed what appears to be a small amount of overspray or possibly mask glue left on the canopy.

 

I prepared a test clear part, my one and only, also dipped in future and have tested out alcohol on a cotton swab but it damaged the future.

 

Is there anything else that would gently clean up this canopy without damaging the future? I was thinking maybe enamel thinner?

 

cheers in advance,

 

Paul

White spirit should work if applied very lightly - damp, not wet. It shouldn't remove the future but might soften it, so don't rub too hard. Test on scrap first!

 

If you can remove that canopy without damaging the model, a complete strip (I use ammonia for future - and as the enamel is on the future, it should come off too) is probably the safest option.

 

Cheers
