748S911 Posted June 15, 2019 Author Share Posted June 15, 2019 Cleaned up the edges more this morning, don't have acetone to remove the film completely yet. But over looks 100 times better. Gonna get some acetone today and touch up even more then do water test. Hopefully this thing still holds water after removing all that silicone LMAO! It will or will it? Lol 1 Quote Link to comment
