RE: Solartex verses Coverite
I've used Super Coverite since the early 1980s and have loved the stuff! However, it is no longer available and I have no experience with Coverite's newer materials. I have an Oly II sailplane that is 30 years old with Silkspun coverite on the fuselage with never a wrinkle and has had literally no maintenence work done to it since it was applied. I have RCM trainer with a wing covered in Super Coverite that is 30+ years old and it's fuselage is 27 years old that the paint is pealing off of, but the covering is tight and adheared to the surface like the day it was applied. Like I said however, none of these Coverite products are still available, so my point is moot!
