Default RE: applying koverall with WBPU

My results sucked.

That saves me some typing.

Adhering wet silk to my open bay test frame worked well. The silk drew taught when dry. I then applied some WBPU to the open bay silk and it sagged even though I drew it tight initially. It appeared to dry before the shrinking occurred. Not sure if I shoulda done something different?

Sounds like WPBUs friend is Koverall or any other cloth like covering which has heat shrinking abilities.

At any rate, I'm done fooling around so I put in an order to VHS for butyrate dope, white butyrate primer, dope retarder, maroon and cream butyrate dopes. Picked up a quart of quality lacquer thinner at Miller paint.
