| Subject: | Pulsar 3 - Canopy Plexiglass Repair |
Hello everyone,
I'm a Pulsar 3 owner/builder and a newbie to the group. I was doing some research
online and came across this site sometime ago. Decided I needed some help with
different stages of my build and wanted everyone's opinion/suggestion. Bought
my Pulsar from a gentleman who had cancer and past away back in 2008. Transported
the aircraft from Oregon to my home in Poway, California. I've been pretty
isolated on building my craft but I'm not unfamiliar to fiberglass and composite
work. I'm about 80-85% complete. However, Had an unfortunate mishap that
caused major scrapes and deep scratches on various areas of the canopy. I tried
to repair the deep scrapes but seem to have made it worse by using fine wet/dry
sandpaper. Any suggestions? Can plexiglass be smoothed out and scratches
removed? Ideas would be deeply appreciated. Thanks.

My suggestion is to buy the polish kits they have out there for plastic headlight
lenses. That might help.

Try your Plexiglass supplier they should have various grades of plexiglass
compounds to polish fine scratches and misting off .

If you haven't done it before - you must polish orbitally and you must keep
moving along (don't concentrate on one deep scratch) otherwise you can
create distortion .
