mythreecents Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Nearing the end of my first build. Just noticed a little dirt (fingerprints, speck of glue) on the acetate windows, and I know you folks will know the best way to clean them up. Help!

havanaholly Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 For the fingerprints dip a q-tip into warm water with a drop of liuid dish detergent and try that. if it's tacky glue, try a fingernail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 For fingerprints, I'd use the cotton swab, but I'd use a bit of Windex or similar cleaner that doesn't leave a film as the detergent might. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sable Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Kathie, doesn't Windex cloud some plastics? I've been warned not to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know! i've not run into that problem, but maybe I've just been lucky. I guess testing in an inconspicuous spot would be in order, like a drop on the end of a toothpick in a corner that might be hidden by a flower box. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I follow up the detergent with a wad of water-dampened tissue, in case my solution wasn't dilute enough. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbnmini Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I've also used a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
