Image Comments Skyediamonds1985 14-Jun-16 23:42 If you zoom up and look closely, you can see damage along the edges caused by my heating iron. The Teflon coating somehow was contaminated. Went to hobby store and was told to use lacquer thinner to remove paint that somehow got on. Tried it, and still have trouble. Anyone have ideas? I'll Skyediamonds1985 14-Jun-16 23:43 I'll either have to buy another one, or use a small piece of cloth cut off one of my T-shirts. So, had to do a bit of artistic license in the next few steps. biplane guy 16-Jun-16 11:25 I guess there's not much chance of obtaining a matching paint color. It would probably cover the texture though which is one of the features I really like about your covering choice. Can the covering be removed, or is it easier to just rebuild this section? Sorry that happened, Sky. Huey V77 16-Jun-16 19:03 Sky, use a test piece first, Micro Weld is methylene chloride, it desolves almost everything. Might do the trick. Skyediamonds1985 18-Jun-16 00:20 Huey, thanks. I'll try it. I'm hoping it won't dissolve the Teflon coating. But at this stage, the model is completely covered and now really don't have much to lose and I'll probably wind up buying a new iron anyway. Xanadu 18-Jun-16 07:39 I found out the hard way too to always use a iron sock. They are cheap and disposable.http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXB363&P=ML Skyediamonds1985 18-Jun-16 17:45 Xanadu, thank you very much for your suggestion and towerhobbies website. Watching videos on YouTube, I've seen a number of modelers using socks, but no one called it to my attention as to why. Now I know. Again, thank you, Xanadu 19-Jun-16 08:31 Your very welcome, all part of live and learn process huh? Please sign in to comment on this image.
