What can be done to clear up cloudy clear plastic like on an airplane canopy. Thanks, J.

what has worked for me is the "future dip"

Clean the canopy and then dip it into a cup of future (yup the floor stuff) and let it drip off and dry in a clean, dust free place ( if possible, on a napkin in a tupperware container....the next day repaint the frame and the clear bits will look much less cloudy.

FYI Future is the thing for decals too.

Do you mean for coating decals you print yourself or after you apply the decals to the model?

Thanks

He means coat in Future first for a great gloss coat then add decals then put on either more gloss or flat overcoast depending on the use.
