Default Trim solvent on canopy ...

I was adding some detail to my A-26 canopy and some trim solvent got on the canopy. The more I tried to wipe, the worse it got.
Any solutions to the problem I caused myself besides a new canopy?

Thanks

If the plastic has got hard again, you can sand it and shoot clear coat over it and it will return to a clear canopy. Wet sand the entire canopy with 240 grit.

Also if you can get it sanded out dunk it into some Future Acrylic floor wax. It's pure acrylic and dries crystal clear and is non yellowing.
