I finished priming the canopy and windows  last week and had a problem (Dupont Colar high build primer). The primer did not  stick well to the Plexiglas and I was able to easily scrape it off with a razor  blade - not good.  Before priming, I prepped my rear windows and windshield  by scuffing the plexi real well and taping the edge. I then cleaned with mineral  spirits. I believe that I have read that you should not use Acetone or MEK on  the windows - causes crazing. So I used mineral spirits - that was the mistake.  My painter believes that the oil in mineral spirits caused the problem.   Has anyone else had a similar experience?

  

 I really miss the good ole days of   riveting!

Use isopropyl alcohol on plexi. Get the higher purity 91% variety at aviation section of Walgreens or equivalent. Very effective for removing oils, etc.

I believe the ISO-Heat variety of fuel dryer is also 91%.

Printer (like in printing press) suppliers can supply 95%. You should be able to get a gallon for almost nothing.
