No doubts, just a finger feeling. I cover a piece of the stabilizer, when I wasstretching the fabric with the iron, y feel how the tension grow; at the lasttemperature it is like a drum; but after 10 minues (when it cold again) I feelthe tension is less than minuets ago.Could it be or it is just an illusion?.--------Mario Giacummohttp://vgmk1.blogspot.comRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: fabric tension .... when it cold againFunny an old A&P in Dalhart moved the date on his annual so that his fabric wouldget through one more punch test based on the tautness due to temperature. Maybe Scout longs for warmer weather. I can be at the airport to unload Scout onmost weekends or after hours with some planning. Just let me know.;+}Blue SkiesSteve D----- Original Message -----
