anti-reflection treatments?
I'm trying to reduce the canopy reflections in my V2bx, particularly
the refletion from around the air vent at the extreme forward end of the instrument cover. I've tried black electrical tape (a disaster) and felt-tip pen (not very effective). Any thoughts on effective surface treatments? TIA, Frank (TA) |

Frank, I use black velvet from a fabric store put on with contact cement. It works very well, I will be at the field this weekend you can check it out.

TIA, Frank (TA) The soft side (loop) of black pressure sensitive Velcro works pretty well. |

TIA, Frank (TA) I bought some black felt with pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) backing for use in padding some things around the trailer. It would also work well for your needs. I got mine from ... where else... The Felt People (www.thefeltpeople.com). Erik Mann LS8-18 (P3) |

Erik Mann LS8-18 (P3) Erik, I called 'The Felt People', and was told there was a $100 minimum order at $10/yd, So, I would have to order 10 yards! And the sales person wasn't very interested in helping me find a distributor either. All in all, a real downer. I guess I could cover the entire glider and have a stealth Ventus - might get kinda hot, though ;-). Anyone else interested in black PSA durafelt?. Frank (TA) |
