We all have our favorite covering tissue. Mine is polyspan. Similar in weight to HD silkspan it applies easily and quickly. It is very forgiving and "melts" into curves with a hair dryer or heat gun. I lay it ou and tack it in place with thin CA or nitrate dope. When the glue drys, hit it with the heat to tighten, then seal. The whole operation for the feathers took 45 minutes and is almost dry.

Polyspan can even be tightened after it is sealed and painted. The painted surface actually improves. Polyspan also shinks well on curves. It is very similar to HD silkspan.

Poly span must be sealed after it is mounted and "shrunk".
