bsadonkill | 22-Feb-21 08:04 | Thanks, Laser cut kits build really fast! |
Don C | 22-Feb-21 11:07 | You're really sailing through this one. Judging from the prop I see, this one is for display? |
jgood | 22-Feb-21 12:30 | Nice covering job. What's your covering process? |
bsadonkill | 22-Feb-21 20:20 | I dry cover using a glue stick. I attach one edge first and let it dry. I attach the other 3 edges at one time pulling the covering tight. A single shrink is done when the glue is dry. With real Japanese tissue I preshrink it on a picture frame. On some models with super light fragile frames like 1930's Comet kits, I might not shrink the tissue at all. I finished with 50/50 nitrate dope and thinner with a few drops of castor oil. |
