RE: Is dope & fabric covering dead?
with the technology increase in fabric designs. its a natural process to leave the old ways in the old days... with that being said... too much great info get lost!!!! a nice thing about the internet, you old guys who have puter skillz,you can put your knowledge in places like this to be preserved for the ages..... afcousre some get lost in translation of speech to text, but its better than no info from our elder mentors/counterparts....
i d be interested in seeing what the next few yrs bring in covering with the use of nano technologies in the material industry....
i was wondering about the use of just plain ole 70s type polyester... i see a few posts about it... seems with the "stretchy" tendencies of poly, it would lend itself well to covering..
great thread,,,, i ve been wanting to do a none mono/ultracote covering,,, and this thread has been most helpfull.. thanx for all the contribuitions posted.. this will make the job for a newb like myself to get good results...
