Jimd0586 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Last night I masked off a SBD dauntless 1/48 revel model. It was tedious work and a real test of patience. I used sliced painter's tape and maskrol. I then airbrushed the two canopy pieces. This morning I removed the masking and maskrol and found some overspray on the windscreen away from the frames. Additionally the glass is a bit foggy. I had dipped it in Future before I painted (a day before). Maybe it was the wrong way to remove glue, but I took a wood toothpick and rubbed away the paint where it was not supposed to be. I was pretty disappointed with the final result. I spent a lot of time masking. Any ideas on how to clean up the fog and the paint residue? Thanks all. Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
seawinder Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 That's one of the reasons I seldom if ever use Future on canopies. You might try using a small q-tip with some Windex on the trouble panels -- it'll melt/take off the Future and possibly the overspray as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jabow Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Future dipping canopies. I usually wait a week or more to mask and paint to let Future fully cure. Bo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Big Texan Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Yeah, what Jabow said. The first thing I do is dip the canopy first when building a plane. Let the Future cure for a week and you won't have this problem. Cured Future is very tough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
