Wings covered dry with 00 silkspan then shrunk with water.

Perfect cover job. Well done!

That silkspan is some amazing stuff, the wings wouldn't have come out so nicely with typical kit tissue. I think I could even have gone with 000 considering how strong this 00 is.

Actually, it appears that 00 is lighter than 000.

Nice covering. Did you use dope or 50/50 white glue?
SteveM19-Nov-07 16:15
I used dope for this one, I forget why I decided to use dope rather than try Dave's 50/50 white glue method. I guess part of it was wanting to cover with dry tissue so I wouldn't get any warping.

Very nice indeed! To clarify, this David uses dope to attach the silkspan to the frame and the 50/50 glue mixture to seal the frame prior to that.
