Cleaning uncured canopy sealer.

I am going old school with my RV7 sliding canopy and making the fairings from aluminum, Most likely they will be all mechanically attached but I ordered Flamemaster CS 3247 canopy sealant to seal everything up. I plan on masking but what solvent can I safely use on the canopy that will clean the uncured sealant if it does get on the acrylic. I have been searching, It seems like Naptha might work.

Go with the manufacturer's data sheet, after all, it is made for windscreens and canopies... :)

IPA - I'm guessing that "IPA" is IsoPropyl Alcohol for the stuff mentioned in the data sheet, not India Pale Ale. :D
