Yes I did the top in a single piece to avoid the join. That is another advantage of using the polyurethane, there is very little if any shrinkage, so it won't lift in the middle as it may well do if using dope

Thanks very much, appreciate the suggestion, good point, and really pleased you enjoy the videos 😀

Thanks Terry, the more I do on this model the more I love the design, really enjoyable build, thanks for the comment 😀

No, that is what usd to be used, this is a more modern product which is generically branded as acetate

Thanks Terry, pleased you enjoyed it

@@peterbrown7130 thank you, pleased you liked it 😀

@@johngriecosr8723 Thank for the comment, its appreciated. The like the idea of using magnets, thanks for the suggestion 😀

Very nicely done. I’ve seen the magnets approach before but the problem is the part will still be under tension and may over time pop apart. Marks process removes that issue. 😊👍

Thank you 😀

That's certainly a reasonable question -- you sound old school, like me, with tissue, silkspan and silk experience. The Model L's wing area is 330 in², so top + bottom is about ½ sq. yd. The silk Mark is using is probably 5 momme which weighs approximately 9.25 grams for the wing or 1/3 of an ounce. Doculam is also very light. With silk alone, you need to fill the weave with enough dope to tighten and give an airtight covering. Silk over doculam does not need to be shrunk or completely filled (no expensive dope, fumes or divorce). And, you will either need to dye the silk or paint it, which does add weight. PU can get heavy, but one or two blotted coats is sufficient. In the long run, if you do the weight calculations, this may well be one of the lighter coverings you can use and the doculam is very puncture resistant. I like 8 momme silk -- a little heavier (~ 1 oz/yd²), but available in colors.

Thank you for the comment, really pleased you enjoy the videos, great to hear you're flying diesels and sparkies, keep it up, its great fun 😀

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks for the comment, pleased you found the video useful, hope your covering goes well 😀

Thanks, pleased you enjoyed it, hope you are having a good holiday and New year 😀

Thank you very much for the comment, its really appreciated, and thanks for sharing your technique, always interesting to hear how others cover, sounds a great job, the Super Scorpion is a great model 😀

Thanks for the comment, totally agree with what you're saying. The seams do help keeping it all secure. It will peal off, but the adherence is very good and I don't have any concerns about it coming loose. 😀

Thank you very much, appreciate the comment, hope you have a great Christmas and New Year

Thank you very much

@@alexfrix7419 Don't know what type of machine its for, but the film shrinks with heat and it has a heat activated glue, so I am guessing its for hot laminating. Thanks for the comment, pleased you enjoyed the video 😀
