REFLECTOR: Spray Lat

[Ronnie Brown]

I used aluminum duct tape from Lowe's.  It does a good job of keeping the
crazing fumes away from the plexi and it is tough - not easily sanded
through.  It comes off fairly well but you may have to use some Goo Gone to
get all of the glue off.

The professional folks who painted our Cessna also used the aluminum tape on
the windows.

While talking about painting, a great way to mask off the wheels and
anything else that is hard to cover is to use 12" or 18" wide aluminum foil.
It forms easily around odd shapes and works well - easier than trying to use
paper.
