After much curiosity in the warbird forum I have started this thread to investigate the use of an alternative covering product/procedure.

Liquid Sheeting sold by WOWplanes.com is what started it all. This product is a 2 part solution that allows you to cover a surface (in this case balsa) and paint it with any paint you wish.
Many have said its just repackaged Stryo Spray.

So with all this background information. I am going to perform the test. I have ordered both products as you can see from the photo. First I will apply both products to a plank of sheeting and run some basic stress tests on it. After that I have an ARC topflite p47 if the tests go well I will use the product that performs the best or neither if it’s a bust.
The reason for the comparison is to
A. See what the product really is
1. Is it really secret sauce or just a repackaged existing product
B. Test easy of application and use
C. Test Durability
D. Test how much product is required to cover a GS warbird

Many may believe this is about WOWplanes price point for the product, but it isn’t. WOWplanes sells their covering product for $20 for 8oz and styro spray sells for $29 a quart. So is sounds like WOWplanes may be expensive for the amount you get. All things being equal that may be a more the fair price point. Once open this stuff has a very short shelf life. So if you open 8 oz and can cover a GS scale warbird with very little left over you may save your self money. If you purchase a quart and it only takes 8 oz that’s a lot of waste.

This is not intended to make anyone look bad I just want to know the whys and why fors of this product so when someone asks I can tell the truth because of experience.
Bottom line is if this stuff works as advertised I will never put glass cloth on another airplane again.
Stay tuned guys
