Status: offline 		This weekend I clear taped , cut and shot a canopy frame instead of doing it by hand and brush . It does look much better than using a small brush I admit. But later while removing some overspray with a Qtip and acetone I left a few foggies and streaks on a couple of panels. It's a 120 sized Zero so there are many panels in the birdcage.
Is there a fix ? Or should I just order a new one ? Maybe consider it "Fog Of War"? lol

Status: offline 		Well ,,, I picked up some today at Autozone. And guess what ? It works great. Also got some scratches outta my modeling glasses. My flying/driving glasses. And a wrist watch crystal that was buffed up pretty bad.

Thank you. I'm going to search over in the tips dept and post this tip if it's not already there.
