Re: Canopy Protective Coating
      
      
      Steve,
      glad you were able to get the film off.  As I recall, it did take me a little while
      too to scrape the film off the entire canopy.  I do think the canopy was
      relatively new and the film hadn't "hardened", but it was tedious.
      Continued luck with your build...

      Bear thanks for the suggestion I made up a plexi glass scraper out of a cut off
      piece of the canopy, did get a few light scratches using it but was able to polish
      them out with metal polish. It was a really slow and tedious job. I am sure
      it was so because the film had been on the canopy for a long time and had
      hardened on there.  If anyone has an older kit with the canopy still protected
      I would remove it and reapply a new thick coat Aircraft Spruce seem to have it.

      Steve, I scrapped mine at the factory. they had a scraper which I believe was made
      out of Plexiglas and worked perfectly.  Check with Nick.
      He might be able to give you more info, since this was several years ago.

      Hello Group,
          Has anyone had success with removing the protective coating on the canopy bubble
      other than with your thumb nail. Its easy where the coating is thick but
      on the inside it is really thin and almost impossible to get off.
      Cheers
