That nurse's uniform fabric was dacron polyester?

I've always thought it was a little bit of a sham that you pay double
for PMA'd fabric with the FAA stamp on it, when the homebuilder fabric
and the PMA'd most likely come from the same looms and the same
factory.

I used to cover my models with Polyester Sheath lining that I got from JoAnnes
fabrics. Later I used it to cover my Easy Riser Ultralight. You can get it in
colors and patterns too!! :-)It's about 1.6 - 1.8 ounce weight.

The only major caveat here is that you use "greige" (sp) Dacron, which
has not been pre-shrunk. Most of the polyester that you buy in fabric
stores has been shrunk already and will not taughten up under heat.

That property is what Ceconite, Stits, etc. use to maintain a nice,
tight cover. The dope, paint, etc. is there only to provide UV
protection, fill the pores, give a finish, etc. It is also because the
fabric is already taught that you use non-taughtening butyrate dope, or
you can (will) warp things.
