Question about Randolph non-tautening green nitrate
« on: May 22, 2012, 08:05:27 PM »
I have a question for the users of Randolph "green" nitrate(G-6302). The product is supposedly non-tautening so what do you use on open bays to tighten paper over the bays?

If you read the description, it is recommended for silk or silkspan.

I use tautening dope until the silk is tight enough to suit, then switch to non tautening for the rest of the finish.

Hi Steven,

I use Randolph's Blue non tautening Nitrate up to applying the covering, then 2-4 coats of Sig Supercoat Clear (Tautening) then Sig Lite Coat (non tautening) for the rest of the "fill".

<Snip> . . . so what do you use on open bays to tighten paper over the bays?

I use a heat gun; it does a great job shrinking Polyspan  ;D

Your answer is a nonsequitur - he asked about tightening paper.  Your lame attempt at humor was a flop.

My intent was to put it out there as an option. One of the disadvantages of polyspan is the "fuzz". On a D-tube wing I finished last year, I used polyspan in the open areas and silkspan elsewhere and used non-tautening clear nitrate throughout. This approach could also be used to cover the C-tube wing Steve is working on.
