I have some 40 year old covering to remove. Any suggestions on how?
Craig
It's hard to tell what type of covering it is... It's over 40 years old so it
can't be any type of iron on, Its not silk, but does apear to be
dope based
Craig
I think Kurt Z. figired it out It's silkspan and its painted with
Hobby-Poxy. That's why lacquer thinner removes a little of the paint but does
nothing to soften it. Although it does come off the bamboo rather
nicely
So I guess I'm going to have to use the two 20 year old cuties
to be mine 1/3scale Sig Spacewalker
