I don't want to appear too simplistic but this spraylat sounds quite a
lot of bother. I simply covered the windows with tough polythene, the
stuff that the windows came wrapped in, and stuck it on with electrical
insulation tape. Other than checking and resticking the tape
occasionally, no probs.

such a fuss about various aspects of the build. Building is fun but
flying the thing is fantastic!)

I just removed Spraylat that had been on about 9 months by using warm
water and a citrus cleaner, then scraping with a plastic scraper. It
came off easily and left no marks.

Hello all,
We have found (unfortunately) that the best way to remove old Spraylat
is to use a 50%/50% mixture of acetone and mineral spirits to help
soften the coating. Care must be taken to not have too high of
concentration of acetone otherwise it can create a haze on the window.
It is best to try on a scrap piece of window material to test the
compatability. Again, prevention is the best course, a minimum of 4
coats applied, with each additional coat applied just as the previous
coat has dried enough to brush/spray without deforming the previous
coat. Removal and replacement should be done annually at the very
longest, and preferrably every 6 months.
Regards,
Rob Huntington
