That is exactly my plan. (I should have been more specific.) I want to use Stewart's to install the fabric, then paint with Glidden Exterior latex. The Stewart's varnish is quite expensive...I was curious about a local bought spar varnish or other urethane/polyurethane.Michael PerezKaretaker Aerowww.karetakeraero.com=0A=0A=0A ________________________________________________________________________________Date: Fri, 3 Sep 2010 09:47:31 -0600Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Thanks for the input-stits-ceconite-stewart

Dave,Just for your consideration, there are several on this list, some withcurrently flying Piets, that have used a quality house paint! I'll be usingthe Stewart system to install the fabric, then painting with one such paint.They are flexible, uv stable and protective, and bond to most surfaces. Attached are a couple pics from Brodhead 2009 of Shad and Gary Bell's Piet.I think they said their brand was Sears Weatherbeater! The brushed look wasintentional and gives the appearance of old-time linen.Gary BootheCool, CAPietenpolWW Corvair ConversionTail done, Fuselage on gear20 ribs done

GN-1.John Kerr is based at Gillespie Field in San Diego. GN-1.There is a flying one at Brown Field in San Diego.There is a Flying GN-1 Lycoming powered at Lake Wolford near San Diego.Mike Madrid is at Lompoc just north of Santa Barbra.We have a non-flying Piet in the Muesum at Fox Field.French Valley EAA chapter has the Project you saw at Brodhead.Dan Rienhert has a Piet project nearly complete at Cable airport that is for sale.With a model B, See barnstormers. Jay Cotting's old project.Tom Lawthers has a project. He is a tower controller at Fox Field.EAA chapter 1 at Flabob has a project. Now my brain hurts.

Just a quick note about my experience with Spar Varnish, After flying mine for28 years I rebuilt it. I found that I had a very small gas leak in my fuel tankthat is in my center section. The gas penetrated the spar varnish and I hadto replace about 80% of my center section. When I rebuilt it I used epoxyvarnish from Poly Fiber. I hope it doesn't happen again.--------Scott LiefeldFlying N11MS since March 1972Steel TubeC-85-12Wire WheelsBroadhead in 1996Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Pietenpol airlines shirts

My two cents... If I were building a new rib jig today I think it would be the612 rib. I would also drill two holes in both vertical upright braces that arenext to the wing spars. Instead of nailing the ribs to the spar through thetop capstrip as shown in the plans, many builders nail the uprights to the spar.I used a picture frame nailer to squeeze the nails into the spar. Hope you enjoy building your ribs.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Thanks for the input-stits-ceconite-stewartDate: Fri, 03 Sep 2010 19:21:27 -0400
