TonyS Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 My tip is to glue something flat and heavy to the bottom of your cyano bottles as soon as you open them (which are designed specifically so that they fall over at the slightest provocation). That way you don't spend half of your build standing the things back up again!!! PS Little discs of balsa or ply that come out of lightening holes are handy for this too!!

Peter Miller Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Acetone or nail varnish remover disolves CA. Acetone will also remove impact adhesive cleanly, it doesn't disolve it but makes it peel off. If you have ever put impact adhesive all over the wring side of a doubler you will wish you had known this How do you think I discovered it?

Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Acetone not only disolves CA its very effective at getting rid of those horrible white stains it leaves on covering film when it runs where its not supposed to! Doesn't attack oracover or profilm. Never tried it on Solarfilm so don't know about that! BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
