Default RE: Secrets of Silk


ORIGINAL: KidEpoxy

I'm waiting for someone to complain about a fiberglassing article where the author refers to it as 'glassing'.....
I dont get your analogy:
Its my understanding that
fiberglass is made outta glass fibers, so one would be 'glassing'
while silkspan is made outta ... uh.. tree fibers not silk

so the title shoulda been The Secret of Tree ?? [8D]
This is the K&S Engineering 000 weight Silkspan Covering.

FEATURES: Silk fibers in this paper based covering give it the look of
traditional silk and dope finishes with the lightness of paper
Ideal for kites and gliders where lightness is crucial
I guess your understanding was ............ wrong.
