Hi all,

I found out something funny today. I was sanding the seam of my f-15 canopy. I just finished using the finest sandpaper when I wanted to start polishing. I had no polishing liquids at home so for some strange reason I tried powder sugar (yes you heard that right). after 5 minuts polishing I got a nice clear canopy.

Reading my own post I think this must be the dumbest tip ever on Armorama but I still think it is funny (++)

Nice one, tooth paste works well too
I often wonder who first discovered using Future :-) It's these, sometime desperate, make do scenarios that give us great Ideas. Not dumb at all, did you like the residue off :-)

I too have used toothpaste. Will have to give the powdered sugar a go, thanks for the tip!
