Happy New Year!

I'm working on a modified M1114 with Humvee windshield panels mounted above the turret walls. After the CA glue dried I found one of the clear panels has "frost" at the glued edge. Any tips on how to de-frost the styrene?

Thanks,
Brian

Try this on a test piece first. Frost another spare piece of clear styrene--- and then brush coat it with Future floor wax. I think it'll clear it up.

Future inhibits frosting. It's best to do this before you attach it, but if you can remove it, dip, do not paint it with Future, and that should solve the problem.
