I have a bunch I need to cut for certain fittings and right now I don't have anything in my shop that will do a nice clean neat job of it.John**************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.

Pietenpol-List: Question on tensioning fabric, how do you handle the concave
Original Posted By: Kirk Huizenga
I am getting fairly close to being ready to start covering my wings and have afairly pietenpol specific covering question. The bottom of the wings are concave,which has me wondering how to cover them right.Normally you bring all the fabric (top and bottom) to full shrink, then rib lace.However that would make the fabric way to tight on the bottom.Do you just do the bottom with about 250 degrees for a first shrink, and the topto full shrink then pull up the fabric to the bottom of the ribs?What works well? I have three different sets of covering books, a tape and dvdset and none of them discuss concave bottoms of wings like ours have.Jim D.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
