Aircraft Fabric Covering: You can drink the Thinner

Covering a fabric skinned aircraft involves selecting a fabric covering system. This Tip of the Week demonstrates the water based fabric system developed by Stewart Systems. Watch as an instructor demonstrates techniques used in this system as well as an explanation of the benefits compared to the traditional solvent based systems.

That idea of gluing the cup to the paper plate made youtube worthwhile this morning. Thanks!

How long (give or take) can a painted fabric covering last if parked outside year round?

[@Mike-ff7ib]

He said if you use one of the other systems you have to use only their system( 7:17 ) right after he said their system can be used on any other system? ( 7:07 )

The catalyst will still kill you.

PDZ1122 what catalyst?

Only if administered intravenously.

No more sniffing aviation glue.

Water causes corrosion, wood swelling. If you want a real pro. job use poly fiber in a ventilated area!

Good thing wood builders seal the wood before covering.
