Default RE: Solartex

It's perhaps the best covering on the market. I use it in colors instead of painting, it's a matt finish and doesn't glare in the bright sun. I cover and remove the sags and wrinkles with an iron then set it out in the hot sun and remove any blems I may get. I cure it this way a couple of times and it is then ready to sit in the hot sun at shows for days on end without a sag. I spray on a clear coat to keep the stains out but I have been known to not clear coat it. The clear coat just makes clean up easier and better. It isn't a must do but it does help. Easiest covering I have ever worked with and there isn't enough weight difference between it or the plastics to worry about.
