Andy Gudbergsson Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 Dipped my Promodeler Ju-88 canopies in Future, they dried very uneven and now have different thicknesses that are quite visible. Any way to strip the Future from the canopies without messing them completely up, or would it be easier to order replacement canopies. Any suggestions appreciated.

MaRiO FDZ Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 Hey Andy: easy one Strip the Future with Windex. It will leave no mark at all Works for me Take Care Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jbrundt Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 Actually Windex with ammonia. Ammonia is the deadly enemy of Future. I'm surprised you got an uneven coat. I usually have great success with dipping clear parts. How did you set them down to dry? I'll place mine on an absorbent shop towel (like those found in the Rags in a Box from Home Depot). That way the excess Future won't pool and is given a way off the part. hth Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Gudbergsson Posted November 3, 2003 Author Share Posted November 3, 2003 Thanks Mario and Jeff. I'm going to Walmart this morning, I'll pick up some Windex with ammonia and give it a try. I dipped my Hurricane and Me 262 canopies also, without any problems, I don't know what happened with the Ju-88 canopies. I use absorbent shop towels also, it seemed the Future dried before the excess had a chance to run off, so to speak. I'll try the Windex and see what happens. Thanks guys :) Cheers Andy G Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aggie96 Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 After I give them a dip, I very lightly brush the excess future off with a clean flat brush then set them to dry. The brush marks disappear when the future dries... helps even out the coverage. My $0.02, hope it helps! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Gudbergsson Posted November 4, 2003 Author Share Posted November 4, 2003 Thanks Aggie, I'll give that a try. Cheers Andy G Quote Link to post Share on other sites
