Default RE: Capiche 140

Kane,

The only reason I used Solartex over the holes is that very light glass cloth doesn't take up resin too well over open spaces, and I ended up with blobs of resin rather than a neatly filled weave!

The bloke who built yours is obviously a practiced master and managed to glass the box and cover the holes in one go!


I had a disaster last night....

Bottom covered, great, all ok...
Added a Fuselage side piece, looked good apart from a tiny grain of dust under the film. In trying to relift the film i introduced a crease I could not get rid of... removed all film, which lifted all filler, spent rest of evening removing glue deposits, and getting a sanded finish back to a point when I can cover it again!!!

should have lived with it....


Regards,

Steve
