I posted a new article on
There's an even easier way - scrape the seam down carefully with a razor blade, and then use a piece of used (and it needs to be used, not right out of the box) Bounce fabric softener sheet to hand polish it. Then final polish off any waxy residue with a piece of clean flannel. Works great.

You forgot the final step- a dip in Future!
Bill Shuey (who even uses Future for floors) :-)
You know, I've never tried that. I like the way the Future treatment looks, but I've always assumed that Future may not stick to any residue left behind by the Bounce. It's the combination of the waxiness of the the fabric softener and the roughness of the sheet that makes the technique work.
I'll have to try it on a scrap canopy and see.
bill, any chane you got an airfix he 111 canopy in your spares box. i can't seem to heat and smash one. the one i have is barely a mold.
I've used fresh Bounce for removing cat hair from rugs. After that they're no good for anything.

Sorry, I don't!

you mean the pile of bottomless kits doesn't have one? waaaa!
you can have my first born.
It's possible I have one in the spares box. I'll try to remember to look tonight.

Same here, it really is just plain easy to sand and polish them out.
Also helps that Micro Mark sells sandpaper, and polishing pads up to 25,000 grit too :)

Save the baby. None there but if you ever want any Ju 88 canopy parts I have some of those and a Frog Bf 110G canopy too.

'e',
I suspect most of the Ju 88s are from Revell with at least one Airfix and Frog. Right now what I'm mostly looking for is a certain discontinued Testors paint. You want 'em, I'll mail 'em to you.

What kind of frame are you using? I've been playing with some blister packaging, maybe I could make you one. hth
The Keeper (of too much crap)
yes please. what paint? i have a few 70's testors and pactra's that are still viable.
the sirfix kit. i could use two. i will gladly burn you a music cd of your pick.
The sheet of Bounce?
...or the CATS?
:o)
As a dog owner who suffered through dating cat people,I can say for certain that the sheet of Bounce is not only more valuable,but is much easier to live with :-)
Cats are no good for anything without the help of Bounce! But with a little Hot Sauce they CAN be tasty! 8-D
