Default RE: recovering a plane...

GoIrish, We wondered what all those bandaids on your fingers were about

Millertyme, Check with your local club as sometimes clubs do covering and other building seminars. Thats how I learned. Don't be afraiad to ask for help. You can "vollenteer" your plane for a teaching session. (with a wink and a nod). LOTS of flyers are willing to assist and instruct, not so many are willing to do it.... for $ or not.

Tip: Decide on the covering colors and pattern then make templates for each piece of Monkote. Lay the templates out over the rolls of covering for most efficient placement before cutting any covering. Think about overlap and extra material for rolling around LE s and for pulling on when doing tips. Brown paper for masking from Lowes paint dept ain't a bad material for the templates. I have not covered anything big but once or twice but the best coverer in our club does this.
