I HAVE AN OLDER 9A WING KIT THAT CAME WITH A WHITE PLASTIC COATING INSTEAD OF THE NOW BLUE COATING. IT IS A NIGHT MARE TO GET OFF. ANYONE WITH A MAGIC BULLIT TO GET THIS STUFF OFF THAT WON'T TAKE 3 WEEKS?

Hair dryer or hobby heat gun will work. Mine was all the white plastic, too.

Mineral Spirits

Keeping the "seam" wet with mineral spirits as you peel back the plastic may help. But be careful if you're using heat at the same time!

My wife put took one of my wing skins and soaked it in our tub with hot soapy water, let it soak for a while and peeled it off. Iam not sure how easy it was for her but it did not take her near as much time as it would have taken me.

Dave, good tip.

You are lucky you have a wife who is willing to help with the tedious stuff.
