Silk ?

<< < (2/2)

Bill Little:
I agree with Eddie!  y1  y1  His silk jobs (and Ward Van Duzer's!) are very very clean.

I have always applied silk (and silkspan) wet.  I use a large pan to soak the pieces in then pay them on a fresh bath towel for a few moments.  Then stretch the covering as much as is feasible prior to doping it down.  I have never had a problem with either not being tight.  Plus, I only use Sig Supercoat Clear (it's high shrink) for the first coats on both.  Always dope both sides (top and bottom) of the same wing panel at the same time to help prevent warps/twists.
