RE: How to cover a solid surface?
Hi,
This may or may not help, but I thought I'd pass it along.
I bought a Combat model that had a foam wing. The kit maker suggested covering the wing with Monokote, Coverite, SolarFilm etc. but mentioned this may be difficult.
So, first they suggested covering the wing with 3M 77 contact cement, then apply news print, then ironing on the plastic covering onto the news print - this allows any bubbles under the covering to be easily removed and made covering very easy.
I found this worked well.
I had a little problem finding the news print at first, but found it at Staple, Basics and printers. It is also used for large hanging presentation pads for boardroom presentations. You could also use regular newspaper, but I was worried about the printing showing through.
Hope this helps,
