Default Help with canvas type covering

I also favor Solartex (Colortex and Worldtex are the same item) over coverite. Solartex goes on easier, sticks better both to itself and wood, goes around compound curves much better. It does have two dissadvantages though. If you do not put a clear coat over it, it collects dirt in the weave which is hard to clean and , on lightly built models, it can warp the unit as it can be shrunk so much. Another superb covering, especially if you prefer the films is Oz Cover. You must paint the Oz cover unless you want a clear finish as it comes only in clear. The makers of Oz cover also make Rhino Hide which is even tougher but it comes only in Pearl White.
