Default How to covering???

Where can I find the 'how to' atricles? I need to re cover a wing. I will be using mono coat or ultra coat what ever the LHS has. Its mono coat I think.

The Super Stick 40 by Hanger 9 covering is unexecptable and I am going to fix it. The cover droops in the heat of day and I live in FL so its hot all the time here. I get it home in the A/C and it tightens back up. The covering works OK for the fuse and tail sections. Where ever its stuck directly to wood.

If it is from Hangar 9, it is likely to be Ultracote. Try carefully going over it with a heat gun (if you have one for use on covering use it) a little at a time to get it to shrink. Don't forget to try to shrink the bottom and top equally, you can put a little twist in the wing.. If you don't have a gun, get a covering iron, and start with a very low heat. I have a little thermometer that goes on the face of the iron so I don't start out too hot. Ultracote has a lot of shrink available in it, so don't give up yet.

Thanks.

And trust me the Super Stick is not the Ultra Stick. And it does not have ultra coat.
