mostwanted 0 #1 May 6, 2006 there is this canopy with an orange label which seems to have a faked (with a black filler) DOM and serial number on it. how could i cleanse the label so that the original digits are visible again but the canopy and the orange label itself (and the information on it) will not be damaged?

darkwing 4 #2 May 6, 2006 I wouldn't attempt any erasing until you contact the mfr. It may or may not be faked. It is possible that the original fading numbers were "reinforced" by someone. Contact the mfr and give them all the details, the apparent DOM and S/N and the color scheme. It would be very tricky, perhaps impossible, to remove the added ink. I'm assuming soap/water won't, but it is worth a try. Ask the mfr what you might try that wouldn't damage the original ink. -- Jeff My Skydiving History Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rasmack 0 #3 May 6, 2006 My Spectre has a lot of the info on the orange label filled in by hand. Why are you so sure that something has been faked?HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...

Why are you so sure that something has been faked?the canopy was not produced anymore at that time - if the information i have is correct. according to a serial-search-engine on the manufacturers' homepage the imprinted serial number is not valid....but i am waiting for concrete information from the manufacturer. i hope they will reply my email. the problem is that in my country we have to buy an insurance for the canopy - not for the pilot. and i do not want to get troubles with the insurance in case of accident...
