Hi All
Removing old monokote/solarfilm/ultracoat colo(u)r from balsa is fairly easy. Using a covering iron, iron some paper kitchen towel down on to the mess and remove after a few seconds while still warm - the coloured adhesive comes away easily with the tissue and can be discarded.
Applying any solvents initially just makes the mess a lot harder to clean. If the kitchen roll doesn't remove it all, then that's the time to resort to the alcohol rub :-))
Hope this helps
Cheers
Neil
PS Failng that, a very coarse wirebrush fitted to your electric drill will remove it rapidly :-))
