GL: side curtains, Pledge

[John & Judy Gill]

Sorry to say that your canvas guy is mistaken, particularly with  
regard to acrylics (Plexiglas and Lucite) or polycarbonates (Tuffak  
and Lexan).  Citric oils and acids will cause crazing - small  
internal fractures in most plastics.

(a former writer of design and fabrication manuals for Rohm and Haas  
Company which invented Plexiglas acrylic).
