This is my latest experiment ready for trim colors. I wanted to be able to work in my basement over the winter months and decided to try what I have been using to cover free flight rubber models. Floor polish. The fusalage was done with minwax and medium silkspan. The wings were covered with medium silkspan and a 75% mixture of floor polish and water. This combo made for the easiest covering job I have done with silkspan. Paint the bare wood first with a 100% floor polish. Then use a foam brush and wet the silkspan with the 75% mixture and apply wet, pulling out any wrinkles. After it dries put on a couple of 75% mixture coats. I then sprayed the whole plane with Rustoleum primer. After sanding I tried to put on a color coat and was disappointed that it would not cover. It was not compatable with the floor polish. My solution was to put a light coat of spray minwax over everything to seal it. After that the rustoleum covered fine and this is the result so far. The silkspan is still pliable, not brittle like it was on my last experiment using nitrate covered by rustoleum (without buterate). We will see how it does throught the flying season.
