Fling, I did mean a sander! When I got my aircraft the screens were really, really bad. My engineer said it was beyond polishing so we used a sander with 1500 & 3000 grit paper for starters Then we changed the soleplate to a polishing pad with which we used renovo paste. It was OK and got through its CofA which included a CAA surveyor checking it out. There were also cracks which he stop drilled. I didnt like them so soon after I changed all the transparencies. (expensive!). Micromesh is his preferred method of restoration unless they are really bad.

bvgs. Thanks. At the risk of tempting fate it is smoother than ever.
