Plastic grocery store produce bags
« on: October 28, 2017, 02:53:58 PM »
Somewhere there was mention of using grocery store plastic produce bags for covering lightweight free flight models.  I couldn't find any useful adhesive for the plastic.  Nothing seems to stck.

Any suggestions?

    I think the way that was applied was to spray a fog of rattle can spray adhesive into the air over some news paper, and wave the frame under the fog as it falls and collect on the frame work. Then apply the covering carefully and shrink lightly with hair dryer if necessary. That is the way I was taught to apply condenser paper and ultra light mylar covering for penny plane indoor models. Real sharp double edge razor blades to trim the edges or a fine tip soldering iron.

Try spraying contact cement like 3m 77 into a small container like a jar lid then apply with a small brush.  While I have not used produce bags, I did use food wrap on some small RC calm weather park fliers.  Will shink with a air dryer

You can thin the glue with lighter fluid I used Coleman fuel
