Removing the coatings?
This is a hypothetical question.
If you were faced with a Ceconite covered wing, and you wanted to remove coating back to the fabric and start with a new silver coating, is there any way to gracefully do that? I'm visualizing someone trying it with MEK and a lot of rags and a big mess. - Mike |

Although paint remover can be used on Ceconite, most removed paint is done
mechanically. As I understand, first the seam tapes are ripped off. This leaves an edge which a putty knife can then peel off all the paint. Just make sure to have rounded corners on the knife and you will find the paint strips down to bare fabric,The might be a few spots that you will have to use MEEK or paint remover. This process is used quite frequently on Bellanca Vikings. Check with Miller Aviation in Texas for the details. -- Cy Galley - Bellanca Champion Club Newsletter Editor-in-Chief & EAA TC www.bellanca-championclub.com Actively supporting Bellancas every day "Michael Horowitz" wrote in message news This is a hypothetical question.
