Default RE: Question about covering material

ORIGINAL: RHarding

I just bought a used (5 flights) Hanger 9 100" Cub covered with WorldTex. The previous owner did not seal with clear. I don't have any experience with fabric coverings. Would like to clean and seal now. How do you clean the fabric? What would be the best sealer?

Thanks,
Richard
I answered this in another forum. In case you missed it,

Use a good quality clearer such as Simple Green and a "fingernail" brush to scrub the covering. After it is cleaned, reapply any decals and/or detailing, then clear coat with a water base polyurethane. The poly is good to 15% nitro, will seal the weave to make cleaning easy and will not yellow with age. If you need to do any touch up, get some latex custom mixed to match what you need (about $10 per quart) and apply it prior to clear coating.
