Some basic tools for covering. Elmers and water to attatch tissue. Surgical blades. Picture frame to pre shrink the tissue. Aerogloss Dope for sealing the tissue.

Hello scigs30. Beautiful work. I've read a little about the "Pre-shrinking" of tissue. What are the benefits if I may inquire? And is the tissue double-stick taped to the frame? Great idea. Phil.

I only use pre shrinking when covering with Esaki tissue. The only benifit to pre shrinking is that it prevents warps.

Greetings... scigs! I was admiring your covering skills and have a question... seems I always have questions. Do you wet the tissue again after you have applied it to the frame? Even though you have preshrunk it. Thanks. :)

For the most part, yes. Now if I have a fragile structure, I might not shrink it again and just brush on dope.
