I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

LoganPatterson 23-Feb-08 16:03 In a previous post you said you use s+m SGM covering, is their 000 covering lighter or heavier? if its lighter is it too light to work with? David Duckett 23-Feb-08 17:42 I believe the 000 is the lightest. Whether it's too light depends on what you want it to do. It's all stronger than tissue, the difference in the grades is the relative thickness of the fibers, what Martha Stewart might call "thread count". I build for display so weight isn't a consideration. I use only the heavier grade because it's easier to work with and requires less dope to seal it prior to painting. SteveM 23-Feb-08 18:00 It appears SIG labels their silkspan 00/GM/SGM and K&S has 000/00/GM/SMG but you can't always find the GM grade from K&S. I have "00" from K&S that is 6.8 grams for 24"x36". PVHC shows "000" as being the lightest but even K&S doesn't make it clear which is the lightest so I will assume PVHC is correct. Next time I order from them I'm getting a sheet of each weight so I can cover my planes accordingly. LoganPatterson 23-Feb-08 21:14 Thanks, i'm building for display.
