Hey!You Piet folks out there???It's been real quiet the last few days.Somebody say something.......OK Ok Ok.. Lets talk about covering. I'm ready to cover the arse end ofmy GN.I tried the Polyfiber routine at Sun N Fun. It looks like the way to go.What do you all think?Seemed really easy.Oh yeah. Sun N Fun was great as usual. I'll post a little summary to thegroup as soon as I get a chance. DARN I am a busy man. Thanks go to DickNavratil and Charlie Rubeck for their time and expertise. Thanks also toDoc, Alan, Ted, Larry Harrison, Alan Wise(flew in his Piet), Bill Rewey(sorry I didnt get to meet you - love that Navy scheme on the Piet youbrung), and whoever flew in the sweet little green GN. I swear the namesget mixed up, but ... You all know who came, visited and spoke.We had a great shop this year. Met dozens of "Piet Heads" and even produceda few new projects I think.Wish you all could have made it.I'll post more later,Only In America! This is Too Much Fun!Later, Bert________________________________________________________________________________

My Piet is ready to cover and I decided to wait for SNF to research. Ithink the Poly Fiber is the way to go!The flammability of nitrate dopes is one of the things that did it for me.I'm flying a pill of kindling I don't want anything else that's flammable.I've tried to minimize the fuel potential. Now I've stopped the coveringfire problem by going with Poly Fiber. I took the covering seminar and Iwas surprised how well I did on the sample stabilizer. I'm sure I'll havesome problems on the curved surfaces but I fell much more confident now. Ibought the book and video on covering. Wish they had a 2 day course nearbybecause I would sure go.GregReady to cover.... It's a shame to cover all that beautiful wood....________________________________________________________________________________Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2000 08:55:11 -0500

Hi Greg ....Covering the curved surfaces is just as easy as the flats. The key is taking your time. Good luck.>From: "Greg Yotz" >Reply-To: pietenpol-list(at)matronics.com>To: >Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Darn I love this Homebuilding thing.>Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2000 08:18:14 -0500>>>My Piet is ready to cover and I decided to wait for SNF to research.
