Colored Silk
Where does one get colored silk these days? SIG has some left, but mainly the lightweight stuff and I am going to be silk and doping an Eyeball. Thai silks has colored stuff, but folks say that their silk must be pre-shrunk since it take weeks for it shrink up tight. Dharma Trading does not offer colored silk. I read about dying it, but some say that when you apply colored dope, as in trim stripes and such, it can leach the dye out of the silk and it will float to the top of the dope you just sprayed.
Darehobby.com has light weight Esaki silk for $25 a yard [sm=cry_smile.gif]. I am not sure if the lightweight is heavy enough for a .60 sized plane.
