You are going to have to justify the re-use of the covering.... start by saying the color needs to be faded to match an existing aircraft. Then you go on to say that recent batches of ###coat are not as strong as the coating you need to match. Follow that by saying the covering needs to be imported from china to match. You could also go into the heating properties of the reused material and how the new stuff does not shrink properly in the horizontal or vertical axis or the glue is not gripping as nicely as the 1970's product.
Now to the kitchen paper towels.... who you kidding... everyone does that.
Carry on... you are getting it.
