Default RE: Fabric Covering

The title of this thread is Fabric Covering. If that is the look you're going for, try http://www.stits.com we can give you a hand. It's also a whole lot easier to apply the finishing tapes and details on a true fabric covering. This is a polyester fabric system with polyester vinyl paints that all chemically bond. Total system is about 5 coats and very light. It shrinks about 12% at 350 degrees and never needs ironing again. Use a calibrated iron NOT A HEAT GUN. After shrinking, apply a coat of Poly Brush to fill the weave, then the paint. For a more realistic appearance we recommend a coat of Silver after the Poly Brush but this is optional.
