Rick I am glad to hear your intent of using Latex-I am not at all satisfied withthe coverage I got from the Poly products I have had including the red I didthe fuselage in with Polytone. i no doubt tried to get by using too little butI am seriously considering going over at least the rear portion of the fuselagewith some Red latex if I can get them to mix a good match of color.( I havenever checked to see if it's available in deep red) I managed to drip a dropof white latex in the side as I was using it to seal some wood and I thoughtif I wiped it within 5 minutes with a wet rag it would be gone. no such luck.I still have a small white smudge.and if it stays that good by accident I don'tknow why it wouldn't do just fine if I'd wash the dust off and let it dry androll a coat or two on -on purpose.RaymondRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Almost time to start covering this thingYou are SO RIGHT Ben Charvet about watching how wide the fabric rolls are if youwant to use the 'overlap' method of coveringyour wings. (otherwise you need to have an envelope sewn together to make thenarrower rolls fit) Superflite carried the 1.7 oz stuff in the widest width so I went with them formy fabric and glue--the rest was finished in Randolph dope. Another savings-- we don't need the PMA certified stamp on our fabric (plus itall comes from the same mill no matter who you buy fabric from) so Superflite (used to anyway) carry the uncertified wide stufffor less than the factory built plane guys who needthe certified fabric. ________________________________________________________________________________
