Hi,

For a number of years, I have used a material for templates called See-Temp. I make templates of any part in a kit or on a plan which is not a stock size of sheeting or stick wood. This gives me a way to reproduce a part in case of aircraft damage or in case I decide to build a second model, perhaps for sale.

See-Temp is a flexible frosted plastic sheet (relatively low in cost) which can be labeled with the aircraft name, part name and material used. Simply trace around a part, or lay it over the plans and trace the outline, score the line with a razor knife, then bend it back and forth. It will snap clean at the line. Store the new template flat, away from direct sunlight and heat to avoid curling and brittleness over time. Also, store unused sheets of See-Temp the same way (I often hang mine on a wall with two push pins).

Regards,
