Thank you all for the replys. Sorry I have not gotten back to you, I have been out of town.

As for the Covering.. I used Nelson Fabric covering. It is an Iron on Product which is meant to be apinted on. It went on nicely and painted well also. The paint caused the covering to lift some on the wing when painted. I found a work around for that by injecting CA under the covering and making it attach. I suppose if I used a precovering adhesive it would have been better - But it worked for the most part.
I have been thinking about it while I was fishing this week and I think the main problem is the CLEAR Coat. If I could get it to harden up, I will sand it down and re-clear coat it with something else. (more weight - yeah!) I will check into these ideas tomorrow and let you know how it goes. If not, I will take the covering off next week and and redo the scheme with Ultra or Mono Coat. thanks again.

Peace,

jeff
