AlbertBallVC Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Hello,Can anyone tell me the best and easiest way to remove profilm that is well & truly stuck onto a foam veneered wing. I've found in the past that I was easily able to pull off the covering, however my latest attempt to recover a model has come to a halt. A small area around the wing tips & centre wing joint has been removed the rest refuses to come off.Kind regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260 Flyer Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Try a heat gun or iron to gently soften the adhesive as you peel it off. Use a blade to lift the tips of "fingers" that are left after the film tears.Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
