Default Iron-on hinges

I am re-entering RC flying. I used to use a product that was available and can't seem to find anymore. I loved the iron-on hinges but can't locate any of them. I can't remember who offered them either. Are there any of you out there that remember these? If so, do you know where I can get some? Thanks!!

I recently asked the same question and was told that they are not available anymore.It was suggested that I get some fabric iron on covering and have it sew together by a sewing machine.Let me know if you come up with anything.

I believe it was Fourmost Products, but the hinges are no longer listed on their website. JIM

They used to be made by Granite State. They used Super Coverite and sewed the hinge line. I only have a few left so I started making new ones with scraps left over from Super Coverite covering jobs. I don't see the dyed colors in Coverite advertized anymore. Tower has white and antique still available.
I love the limp gapless hinge line especially on thin surfaces. I don't like the added thickness under a film covering job.

I make my own as well. I use fabric covering such as world-tex to make the hinges out of.
