Curatorial Abstract

Atelier habits for cleaning fine aerials without loosening tampo registry marks.

Fine antennas and pitot tubes are the first details to catch dust and the easiest to bend. Use a soft makeup brush and work from the nose aft.

Never spray polish near pad-printed registrations. Residue dulls the clearcoat and can lift ink on humid days.

If a part loosens, stop and message the Islamabad desk. A quick epoxy repair is safer than forcing the mount.
