Plexus® was developed for use in the aviation industry - specifically, for cleaning and protecting aircraft windshields and painted surfaces. As plexus became more and more popular, people quickly discovered it could be used on a limitless variety of plastic surfaces. Since then, Plexus has continued to grow in popularity, and today it is recognized as the most effec
tive plastic cleaner, protectant and polisher on the market.
Plastic. It's Everywhere.
Before you continue reading this, stop a second and take a look around you. Chances are, you'll immediately be able to pick out several objects containing the most popular material on earth: plastic. And it's no wonder. Plastic is strong, durable, versatile. It's used to make telephones, watches, computers, automobiles, sunglasses, clothing, and thousands of other objects we find in our daily lives.
Plastic takes many forms. From the resin found in fiberglass and carbon fiber to Formica, acrylic, and Plexiglas, they're all made from plastic. So are window tint films and the lenses in sunglasses. It exists in places most of us don't realize: some glass is coated with plastic and most paint contains it. Many metals are clear plastic-coated and even many kinds of wood have a clear, protective plastic coating.
Yet as abundant as plastic is, what's more amazing is that few people really know how to care for it properly.
The Frekote 770-NC synthetic mold release I ordered has a 6-month shelf life from the factory. The can I received on 8/25 was set to expire on 8/31 according to the date printed on the bottom of the can. I called and sent a photo of the can bottom and they said it should have been taken off the shelf a month earlier, so they will send me a good can when new stock arrives without sending the out of date can back.
I appreciate the fast delivery and them taking care of the issue, but it means you could be buying product that has only one month of shelf life remaining. Call before you buy and have them confirm the expiration date of their stock and if it is less than works for you, work out delivery from fresh stock or negotiate a discount.
It's the standard pilot log for a reason. Many different flight time categories with just enough space for remarks. As a helicopter pilot, it would be nice if the endorsements section wasn't fixed-wing focused; but I get that there are a lot fewer helicopter pilots out there, so I won't dock any stars for that. This is my third ASA-SP-57 logbook at this point, and I intend to keep getting more of them in the future.
