Default RE: Covering question?

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 11px; background-color: rgb(251, 252, 255); ">huck1199 that is some good looking work on that thread and Space Walkers are just really nice looking.
</span>OK
I changed to useing fabric cut along the salvage. Helped a small amount. But what really did it was LOWER TEMP. I turned the iron down to just barely enough to attach the fabric. And that is the same temp I am shrinking with. Now it is working good. For future projects I will continue to use the dress linning. But I may use a purpose made fabric on small surfaces, especially solid ones.
That would be a good way to control covering cost.
Now I can once again move ahead on this thing. <a href="http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/forumid_96/tt.htm">http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/forumid_96/tt.htm
