RE: How to properly cover a balsa wood model
Campy -
I tried Ultracote in a plane with an open wing structure and it turned out great. It's a work of art imho. Now I'm covering a King Kobra in Ultracote bright yellow and I'm noticing a problem. The covering goes on very well but I can see the wood grain through the yellow covering. It's slightly transparent! Am I doing something wrong? I saw another plane covered in bright yellow that was the same way. Am I missing something? Or is that just the way it is. I'm getting ready to spray it with yellow Krylon (it's an electric plane).
