Hi guys,

I've finished the wings and now the fuselage is standing in the booth.

The canopy will be removed, but I'm bothered by the etch solution

and the lacquer thinner that will be used on the side panels that are

attached to the acrylic canopy bubble.  It's a certainty that when the

panels are etched and rinsed, some of the etch and lacquer thinner

that's used to prep the aluminum will leak thru the riveted skin and

contact the acrylic.  Is there a better way to minimize this or avoid

damage to the plastic?  I used an atomizer for the etch on the wings,

rinsed them and did a wipe and blow dry prior to primer.  Assuming

all exposed acrylic is masked suitably, what about the plastic that is

beneath the aluminum.  Any opinions or ideas that improve this

situation?
