Default RE: Plane Cleaning

OK. Made the 'solution' and tried it. It cleaned up pretty good, but after a quick LIGHT spray from the garden hose she was drying. A short time later I took a look at it and noticed a lot of white 'fuzzy looking' stuff at a few joints. It was what I had feared. The solution/water had softened up the joints at the formers, radio tray. So now I am worried about the actual integrity of this thing. Looks like a scrapper now! But before going further throwing it away, I will trace the side profile and make plans for a new one. Thinking a Telemaster/Senior type fuselage, with sheeting up front, and stick rear end. Does this sound do-able? Would this be alright? I am used to foamies that cost a buck or two to build and am not worried if it doesn't work. So before doing this, I would just like another opinion. Thank you.
