Well, after much trial and error, wailing and gnashing of teeth when I did my Mig-21 canopy,
I must add this trick to my cluebag. Wish you had done this like, Thanksgiving! Sierra Hotel, Bravo Zulu, and whatever others you can come up with!

Great work, Mike! Very cool hints... BTW - if you have to paint the edges, why not just paint the whole piece - though I love to see you reinvent the wheel!

Excellent work Mike! I've been using the label/sticker paper idea on all of my canopies. It works great!!!

Sorry my timings was off Ray, but I think you'll have plenty of chances to use this trick. I doubt we've seen the last micro MiG 21 from you.....

As a follow-up to this afternoon's activities, I waited an hour and tried to pull off the framing I placed on my test piece: The paper separated and I had a hard time scraping off what was left behind with my fingernail, so as Willygoat says "works great"! I'm going to use the Orlik parts as patterns and line this thing tonight. Mike

What's the "Blue Magic" stuff? Is it some household type product?

That blue magic stuff does work great. I had to polish the plexi on my F-150's dash gauges and it did the trick. Seems someone before I got it used alcohol on the plexi and made it cloud up. This stuff polished it right out.
I concur with willygoatt on the labels for canopy frames........ been using that for a couple of years now. I even use it on paper canopies to replace the frames and make them look a little better. OCD I know.........:D Bomarc........ are you going to have this done in time to get it to Pensecola by the 15th? I sure would like to see it in person. john |

Kerosene works great on motorcycle helmet face shields but I don't know about small stuff.
