    Isn't that crammed full of Silicon, wonderful stuff on gliders (not), if you have to touch up the paint, or repair the F.R.P. I wonder what a "D" box repair on a wing looks like blowing off at a 100 Kts


    For ingredients on "Pledge" see the URL below http://www.biosci.ohio-state.edu/~jsmith/MSDS/PLEDGE.htm

    Please people, do not use silicon polishes and waxes, on F.R.P. sailplanes. Take it from one who has to repair them, it is nearly impossible to remove silicones from glass matrix as it Migrates through and contaminates the whole structure, making repairs almost impossible to guarantee bonding with the contaminated lay-ups.

    Does anyone know anything about a product called ‘Rejex’ for use on gliders? I have been using it for years on my power plane and it gives a great shine, is very easy to apply, and bugs and dirt come off much easier than other products. It was
    developed for the air force and does not contain silicone.
