Oct 06, 2022     Fabric coating       Category: Fuselage
Forgot to document the whole process with pics. This work was done in a couple of days in July, 22.
After glueing the fabric and trimming the excess, the shrinking process is done in two stages.
Next step is to apply the first coat of silver Hipec Sunbarrier with a firm foam roller (with vigor) to fill the weave completely and avoid pinholes.
After this 1st coat of silver, the inspection rings are placed while the coat is still sticky.
The product cures with humidity so spraying down the floor in advance not only keeps the dust down but speeds up the curing.
After inspecting for pinholes (and not finding any, fortunately), I proceeded with spraying on two cross coats of Sunbarrier. The rolled on coat was done in the morning and the spraying was done in the afternoon.
Next day cross coats of white were sprayed in the am, followed cross coats of yellow in the early pm. Done
Being my first try at covering and spraying, its got some flaws and blemishes but I think it will still fly.
