Title: Film delaminated
Post by: Geoff Goodworth on August 04, 2013, 01:59:00 AM

The film on the fin of my ARF Oriental delaminated leaving most of the colour and adhesive on the surface.

Any suggestions on how to remove the adhesive? Or do I simply recover the fin with new film?

Brodak really needs to do something about the film they use.  The stuff on my Baby Clown lasted about 3 weeks.

Geoff,

The only time I've ever done this was when I had Monokote do the same thing.  I tried all the solvents I had in my shop and found Xylene worked best.  But for something other than Monokote, I'm not sure, but I'd start with Xylene.
