Silkspan & carbon veil

[elizio]

Hi guys:
it's possible cover the wing with silkspan and recover the silkspan with carbon veil?

Elizio: NO, this would not be a good idea. Carbon veil is primarily a filler.
It fills in the wood grain underneath a silkspan or polyspan covering. You
can also apply it to the wood surface and, after sanding, just paint that
surface if it is sufficiently filled.

As you sand the veil it will 'flake' off of the areas where it does not fill. If
you put it on top of silkspan and then painted it you would have a rough
surface. If you applied it on top of silkspan and then sanded it, almost all
of it would be removed from the silkspan, which would make the whole
effort more work than necessary.

   I agree with Steve that it's probably not a good idea. However, the inverse will work just fine. Put the graphite on the wood surfaces only, then cover over it with silkspan. It's got to be right, "Twenty Point" Granderson does it that way.

    if you want to make the silkspan tougher over the open bays, double covering with silkspan or polyspan/silkspan would work a lot better.
