DuPont Sontara®Window Wipes
New Sontara®window wipes are made of a proprietary blend of fibers that are softer than most conventional wipes. Since many scratches are caused by grit and dirt already on the surface of the window, this product features apertures that help pick up and remove dirt effectively. Using LP Aero Plastics Acrylic Polish and Sealant to “float up” the dirt before wiping is the best way to minimize the risk of scratching.

By applying the couplant and positioning the prism on the window next to the edge of the skin, it allows you to see the entire edge of the acrylic including the mounting holes from top to bottom. You are able to see cracks and breaks in the acrylic or glass.

Acrylic Cement
Used when bonding acrylic to acrylic, as in compass mount blocks, reinforcing strips, patches, etc. The liquid acrylic cement is water like in consistency and is most easily applied with a syringe. The thickened cement is heavy bodied and is easily applied from the tube. The liquid cement requires tight contact between both bonding surfaces, while the thickened cement will fill slight gaps. Both will have excellent bonding strength when fully cured.
