Default RE: Solar tex

I have used SolarTex on numerous occasions. It is a VERY GOOD covering that goes on at LOWER HEAT
than most filme coverings. It does wingtips and curves like a dream. The colored coverings (definitely)
are fuel proof.

One suggestion I will offer, especially with glow fuel engines - after you have applied all your decals and
trim paint, give the covering a coat of clear (the clear coat also seals the decals and really minimizes their
lifting). While the covering is fuel proof, the weave of the fabric tends to hold the dirt and grime. You will
find cleanup much easier with the clear coat (easier than using a fingernail brush to get the dirt off).
