Hey Bill,
I've got a lot of good progress on my covering. Boy do I like this Koverall. It did take forever kovering my two ailerons and elevator. They have scallops. I hope the next time I hear that word "scallop" it's from my wife and they are followed by the words, potatoes and dinner!
When you cover a horizontal stab and start from the bottom. Do you wrap it up around the top a 1/2" or so? Or do you cut it flush at the bottom and just wrap the top down around and over? The only trouble I've had is sticking the Koverall to Koverall when I lap things. I've found I hit it with straight dope once in those areas and rub it in with my fingers. That seems to be working pretty well.
Thanks for all your help. Soon I'll be painting!!

Sean,
Normally, starting at the bottom, I will wrap the covering material above the centerline of the surface about 1/8" and stick it to the top portion of the leading edge, and then do the top surface, and trim it to the c/l of the leading/trailing edge.
You are right. Koverall does not stick well to Koverall, unless you add a coat of dope to where you want the top layer to stick.
