RE: Bluejay Kits
I have a question regarding a Sun Fli 5 that I am building--I have been building for a
L-O-N-G time, but with the way things change nowadays, I need some input on what is probably a simple question. When I get done with the framework on this A/C, I will cover it with silk and dope. Back in the old days, I used Aero Gloss cement on all of the seams that would come in contact with dope, because it never left a glue line in the finish. Well, as we all know, that went away, as did a lot of other things us "old guys" used to use. Can someone give me some advice on a "modern" way to do this that achieves similar results? I know that most of the new guys out there have probably never used silk before, but I am hoping there is someone who still does and can give me some info. This kit is especially bad for this concern due to the way the fuselage sides join the top and bottoms. The reason I have not had to deal with this recently, is that I have been out of action for a while, and am getting going again, so to speak.
