Lightweight covering of 1/8 inch G1S plywood
The fiberglass being proposed for this is not the standard layup glass
used for normal layups. It is a very light weight (.5 oz) cloth that is often used in boat construction to cover and protect teak and other exposed wood. It is so thin and light that it becomes transparent. Orval Fairbairn wrote: In article , "Morgans" wrote: wrote in message ... Application is exterior on fuselage. Personally, I would go with the fiberglass and resin. Fabric and dope works, but glass should last forever. Oh, I've been told that the surface under the glass must be as smooth as the finish you want to achieve. Too heavy! Doped Ceconite (or Stits) essentially last forever, too, as long as you keep the bird hangared. And -- you can get a mirror finish, if you desire. The secret is lots of thin coats of dope, sanded between coats, then polished. -- Remove _'s from email address to talk to me. |
