Steve,I strongly recommend you get a copy of the Ceconite manual. If it isanything like the PolyFiber manual, a heatgun is a big no-no, and a good wayto lose most or all of the strength of the fabric.If you have never done any fabric covering, it would be smart to go toOshkosh next month and take a workshop.Good luck,Jack PhillipsNX899JPSmith Mountain Lake (W91), Virginia _____

Irons can be acquired relatively cheaply at the local resale shops. Most seemto have a shelf with 3 or 4 used ones sitting there. Find a wall outlet and seewhich one works. I think the Stewart people recommend at least a 1200 wattone.Your wife will appreciate it. If the truth be told, I found a better one thanmy wife had at the local Goodwill so she got it and I got her dinosaur.

Steve; I believe that's Lou Viggiano, but check my spelling on that. I do notknow him personally, but he's been around quite a while and I've seen his nameand his work frequently. Also, don't make too big a deal of the fabric work.It's really quite rewarding and fun to do once you get into it, and when thatfabric tautens up... it's happy times to watch the magic happen. Wish I wasstill there; I have two full-sized irons and one of the small ones for tightareas, too. Plus the long needle, cord, tapes. But ask around on the field,because there are plenty of other builders with fabric supplies just sitting there.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Champ at 8T8
