Canopy Dust

[Larry Wong]

Any ideas on removing canopy saw dust , with out refinishing, I was thinking a small hole and vacuum it out!

[RC Storick]

It will take 2 small holes opposite each other. But it should work. Drill at canopy line and shake dust toward one of the holes.

[Paul Taylor]

Yup!
Two holes for sure. Reason is if you do not you will distroy the canopy (or something will break under the vacuum pressure).

Ask me how I know.

I tried it on a double pain window. 8x8 glass shattered!!!

If the dust is sticking to the canopy caused by a static charge, and wont come out by vacuuming, you might want to try a Zero Stat gun to help the dust free up. Remember the anti-static guns that were used for cleaning your old black albums? It should work here too.  those guns should still be around. Just a thought

good luck

where can I get one of them static guns, or equivalent

[Ironbomb]

A music store that still sells old albums should have them. I got mine at K-Mart years ago, but have seen them at music stores since then. Ask for a item that eliminates the static charge from vinyl records. maybe ebay too

good luck

I was a bit shocked at the price 

I found nothing on ebay, I'll keep looking

Still a high price  , maybe there are better ways to clean the dust.

here is a pic,
you may be able to find it at a more reasonable price somewhere else. I saw a $68 price at Hard to find records.com
