Default RE: Solartex Users - Question

I use it all the time on my larger planes. It does not require any paint to be fuel proof but; it does pick up stains easily due to the weave of the fabric and is hard to clean unless you do put a top coat over it. You will find it goes around compound curves much better than the plastic films do, is much stronger and sticks down better, especially where there is an overlap of the material. Another advantage is that a roll is a few inches wider and longer than the film comes in, not by much but it makes a big difference in how many rolls it takes to cover a large plane. The weight increase over the films is very small, almost unnoticable.
