This is the first time I have used coverlite rather than tissue. Any tips would be great. |

Looking good Reuben, will no doubt be another quality build. Sorry I cant offer any tips on coverlite - never used it! Cheers for now. |

Coverite is a bit of a pain to apply but gives a great tough finish. It is the same material as Litespan. Use the odor free Balsaloc instead of Balsarite to glue it down. Both stick really well. Coverlite does not shrink much and shrinks more with the grain than cross grain. You need to get the material tight before you shrink it and it needs to be tighter cross grain. |

Just a note,. The silver Coverlite is the hardest to use with the least amount of shrinkage. Might br the aluminum pigment. The calors are much more forgiving. |
