Very helpful Mark - I've not loved the idea of paying $30 per 2 metre roll of ultrakote. This looks like the most reproduceable method with cheap materials I've found yet, well done.
After covering the bottom (mod podge, fabric, dope) do you use mod podge to attach the upper fabric? Or, does the heat activate the bottom layers sealing dope to attach the upper fabric?
I found a used plane i think using this type of fabric. It is blue but i want to paint it white and orange. What type of paint should i use ans whate painting techniques should i use (brush or spray)? i hope you can advice. Thanks!!!
Hi Mark. - Great video and thanks for sharing it. Really looks great and appears as strong as any solartex or similar covering. Does it work as well on fully sheeted panels ? Also Mark have you tried it on correx or foam models ? I'm a little confused over the dope - do you use non - shrinking dope in the process ? Thanks again Sir - you are about to save us a fortune in not using the Pro Covering Materials ! Kind Regards . . . Eddie.
Glad you like the video, it's certainly very attractive regarding cost. I use shrinking dope, which helps with the tension. The dress lining works even better over sheeting areas. Im a balsa basher so I could not comment regarding foam but it's do cheap its worth experimenting.
@@MarkCroucherRC4fun Many thanks for such a quick reply Mark. I thought non shrinking dope was mentioned in one of your other videos ? Maybe I'm mistaken but I would value your comments.
@@MarkCroucherRC4fun Thanks for the update Mark - I thought I was going twitty as at 6:50 in the video you do mention using Non - Shrinking Dope. So you recommend using Non - Shrinking Dope for best results ? Do you thin the dope down before use with cellulose thinners and if so what sort of dilution do you use please ? Thanks again for being so quick and helpful Mark. Happy Building & Happy Flying ! Best Regards . . . Eddie.
@@EddieSlowhands I Eddie I now only use shrinking and thin down 50/50 after experimenting with both. Use a large flat brush and apply quickly in even strokes.
