Jim, I guess your reply shows that there's always things to learn, even for old dogs. I would guess that, since most wings would be covered with the Monokote's six foot length running spanwise, that the shrinkage would be the greatest and dips between ribs less pronounced. Consequetly, one would never see the reduced shrinkage from covering across the span. Thanks for enlightening me. That's one of the great things about this forum.
