John Wagg Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I need to repair a couple of fuselage stringers which involves having to re-cover a small section of Solarfilm. Obviously the Solarfilm won't stick to an oily surface so I want to completely degrease the surface first. I normally just use soapy water for general cleaning but it isn't good enough in this case. Any suggestions appreciated. Cheers John P.S I did a search but nothing came to light. Edited By John Wagg on 02/06/2020 16:40:29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Christy Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Muc-off to remove the excess residue, followed by thinners, iso-propyl alcohol or lighter fuel (be careful!) to remove any soaked into the wood. Might be worth a dab of Clearcoat (if you can find any) over the top, to seal the wood. -- Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wagg Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 Thanks for the replies. It's just the Solarfilm that needs the clean. The woods good and not contaminated. I think I have both meth's and cellulose thinners in the garage so will start with them. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
