Paint question?
For covering I am using 100% polyester dress limning.
I went to the hardware store today thinking I would get some Rustoleum water based polyurethane. Then I realized I was rather confused. I thought it came in colors. The oil based dose.
I have done silk and butyrate dope when I was young and Koverall and butyrate dope. For most of my planes I used Monocote (just don’t like it or it’s look) But now I want to get away from nitrate and butyrate dopes, as they just are not small apartment friendly. I need to lock the corners and edges of the fabric down with something. In the past patient work with dope was the ticket.
So what do I use to lock the fabric down with?
Next what should be my first coat of paint or primmer, and then on to color coats and trim. What for them?
Lastly Fuel Proofing.
Spraying is out of the question except for rattle cans.
I have been searching threads, and studying them, but at this point in time I am flustered and confused.
I ready to move on.
I am using 100% polyester dress limning. Did a test piece over a open frame work and found it shrinks OK.
For tacking down the corners and edges of the fabric how does Titebond thinned with water sound? I can apply it with an acid brush and work it into the wood. Dope just ain't going to get as I have fairly bad asthma, and react badly to chemicals.
