Polyspan covering a balsa wing with curved wingtips 

Thank you for putting this content out there. Always helpfull to see other modelers sharing their skills.

Stomp on a pop can lengthwise. Now you have a double insulated iron rest. You can get creative with your pop can squishing and make a ridge to keep the shoe suspended. Helped my father refabric his Cessna 120 wings in the car garage. What an experience. I still have his alligator teeth scissors, for strain relieving the fabric around the round edges and where the ends would meet, and for reinforcing fabric around the strut mounts He passed out in the garage from the dope fumes. Mom grabbed him. He learned his respirator lesson. Thanks for the vid Brent. Getting ready to cover a CG Shoestring Stunter.

It's fun to watch and listen to a room full of opinions!

Glad you made this vid.......it's helped me greatly. Thanks

This is great stuff!!! Far better than my polyspan skills!

We added baby powder to dope to seal the wood pores and to fill the weave on silk/silkspan...when sanding ,you are sanding the powder not the covering/wood..

Merci de partager vos connaissances, elles sont très utiles. 😊👍

very valuable

The way to attach the wing tips in the video was very helpful. In particular, I would like to incorporate the method of pasting using both paint and iron into future aircraft production. Regarding polyspan, it is a fabric that is not very familiar in Japan, but is it something like silk?

Thanks for sharing the video. I covered a couple of Herr 1/2a kits with Polyspan a few years ago it was a bit challenging at first but turned out great. Can you list a source for it? Thanks

Did he really say “siney shide”?

Polyspan looks a lot like silkspan.
