rhysleo | 29-Jul-09 08:25 | what are you using for covering? |
BillParker | 29-Jul-09 11:24 | 100% Cotton Muslin fabric. Basically, just like a high quality bed sheet. I buy it at Hancock Fabrics. The ladies there think I'm a sweetie! A yard of fabric is actually 45 by 108 inches. It's for lining curtains or making quilts. Sometimes I can buy it as cheap as 1.99 a yard. On this plaane I used Furniture Lacquer cut 50/50 with thinner. I had been using Butyrate Dope from SIG MFG but frieght costs have gone up so much that it isn't a very good deal anymore, and my LHS won't keep it in the quantities I need... The lacquer worked better than the dope anyway, so I'm really happy...
Starting the drafting on the C-46 here... 120" wingspan! |
