For any Guy/Gal using hairspray to stick covering: I started a project to remove the old chinese covering from a plane. In removing the old covering much of the paint remained on the balsa. I tried cleaning it with ascetone. The bulk of the paint came off but some of the coloring is apparently impregnated into the wood and monokote doesn't stick very well. I'm afraid any additional sanding will take too much wood. Has anyone tried to apply monokote in this situation after spraying with hairspray. Or, is there a better way. Thanks
