Well that just wasn't enough info, what is the BIG PLANE going to be??
I have been finding it hard to adjust to the new work hours and manage much time for the Waco. The plane is getting too close to the end to stop at this point.
Later!!

I will check that out for trimming out my plane, Thanks for the tip.
BTW, I am a young 40 years old but I remember listening to Johnny Cash all the time on the am radio in my dad's Plymouth Valiant
Anthony

A buddy of mine had a 65 Valiant Signet, with the 225 slant six and Hyper-pak. It had a 4 speed too. That puppy would really scoot. As to listening to Cash, I used to see him most every morning at the local General store. I lived outside of Nashville in a small area called Shackle Island. Bet you thought that Cash really lived on Old Hickory lake in Hendersonville, didn't you? Not for the last several years of his and June's lives. Shackle Island is 5 miles North of Hendersonville. (just a bit of Cash trivia)

Ken,
BTW, my wife works for a veterinarian and we have accumulated alot of animals since she has been working there. We have over 30 cats most of which would have been put to sleep if we hadn't taken them and we have 7 dogs. I do hunt but not cats and dogs

Bill,
It is nice to sit and ponder the good old days and what seemed to be a simpler life back then, too much hustle and bustle and got to have it now mentality these days.
Anthony

Bill, that was interesting Cash trivia. I'm only mildly a C&W fan but always liked his stuff.

Anthony, and I thought we had too many cats. They are a lot of fun. The Big Plane is a secret until I start the thread. I think you guys will like it and no, it's not another one of those rudder bumpers.

Time to get out to the Waco factory.

Ken, Anthony, anyone, or everyone.

PolyC help and or education needed

Are you guys using real PolyC or just calling what you are using PolyC. If you are using the real (trademarked stuff) were are you buying it?

This use of this stuff is all new to me. For a while there I was thinking you were talking about "Water Based Polyurethane" in general. Example being the Minwax version you can by at the hardware store. I think I have read on some forums were guys have claimed to use the Minwax????From what I just read on the internet there is a significant difference between the two.

Have any of you used the PolyC on top of paint for GLOW fuel proofing? They (PolyC) claim it is fuel proof.

Anyway, I sure would apprciate if you guys would set me strait and or get me on the same page as the rest of the world.

Thanks,

Rick I have been using water based Minwax Polycrylic and really like it. It was used like Stixit. It was used to fill the weave of the dress lining material. All of the trim that I applied to the fuselage was top coated with Polycrylic.

Ken,

Thanks for that input. I did go back quite a few pages in this thread and start figuring some of it out. I have got myself confused with the polycrylic versus PolyC. PolyC is an actual product sold in England. I write that in case others reading this are like me and did not know it.

Anthony has given me quite a bit of info on some of this (particularly Polycrylic) in another thread. Again I confussed myself with the two products.

None the less, there is still a lot for me to learn on the different finish techniques available.

Thanks again,

Rick,
You will like using the PolyCrylic, The stuff has virtually no smell and cleans up with water. 3 coats will generally fill the weave of the fabric and with 5-6 coats it will give you a smooth metal like finish. I have 3 coats applied to my Waco and I sprayed the primer on and only found about a dozen pin holes and they were between the strut mounting brackets where I did not get the area good with brushing the PolyCrylic. I use a foam brush to apply it with and it works great. The PolyCrylic will stay pliable and will not crack over time. My Cub has 4 seasons of flying now and the fabric looks as good as day one. One thing that I like about using fabric and this finishing method is you never have to worry about wrinkles developing down the road, once you shrink the fabric and seal it it stays tight.
Later!!
Anthony

Sorry to be a "potato head" about this Anthony, but you are refering specifically to "Minwax Polycrilic" and you have used it to fill the weave of cloth such as Sig Coverall??

Slow but sure progress. Guys, what do you use to spray the PolyCrylic? I might consider going that way too. The only experience I've had was with an airbrush and I wasn't happy with it. Thanks.

Michael, you brush it on. Instructions are on the can. It is used to fill the weave of any cloth covering material.

Yes,
Brush it onto the cloth, I give it a light sanding after the 2nd coat and each coat after that. The PolyCrylic dries fast.
