I agree completely. The Stewart Systems products are pleasant to work with. Coveredailerons in the dining room, Wing in the living room and no problems, nosmell, no worry about it catching fire, etc.The glue is cool in that you can use an iron to really make it smooth, with PolyBrushyou are not supposed to iron it, with Ekobond I get it the way I want it,then iron the edges of the tapes repeatedly, sometimes adding a bit more glue,the results are edges that I can't feel the pinked edges of. Very nice. AlsoI managed to cover my wings and ailerons using maybe two clamps at most, justto get the fabric roughly in place, rest was using the glue to tack it. Hardto explain, but it is very pleasant to work with, and forgiving. Had one tape(trailing edge of wing panel) that wasn't right, instead of ironing it in place,I had tried using cloths pins and the fabric shifted and had some excessalong the back edges that wouldn't come out, I hadn't ironed the tapes with ahot iron yet, so was able to pull them off (a week after putting them on) withoutany problem. Anyway, when linen and dope ruled, polyfiber had resistance, think the StewartSystems stuff will as well, but it is nice to work with and you can get excellentresults pretty easy with it.Jim D.Read this topic online here:
