Hello sir and at first thx for all these videos wich are very very usefull for a homebuilder as I am !🙏 I plan to install felt padding on the leading edges of my Murphy Renegade but I do not find anywhere any information on how to apply glue between padding and fabric. I understood that not much glue is needed between padding and leading edge (only on periphery) but do I have to apply glue on all the surface of the padding when installing the fabric or do I have to put just one strip of glue then complete the complete surface gluing after heat shrinking ? Thx in advance and happy end of year celebrations 😃

Looks amazing

Surface prep for paint, fabric, wood or metal..it goes a long way to a great finish.

Thanks for the update! i painted my Fuselage 2 years ago with the old system , plan on doing the wings this coming spring. My colors were Juneau white 000015 Victory red 000686 Royal Blue 000372 and Jet Black 000611 will these colors cross match to the new system? Thanks the Fuselage paint came out great! John

Thank you for this. I just verified that none of my outstanding paint has a ‘1’ in front of the paint code so I will use the 3:1:1 formula denoted in the spec sheet. BTW, my wing came out beautifully & thank you for your help.

Absolutely gorgeous!

I had a hard time learning from other videos. I found your demo of the superflight knot easy to do reliably though. Thank you. I'm curious why every stitch doesnt get a half hitch like the last stitch to lock it independently, . Would it actually add integrity to the knot? (for experimental aircraft)

I like the cut of this guys jib

How do you prevent the stringers from pulling inboard under tension (non necessarily pulled to one side or the other)? Do the stringers typically hold up to the full 350f shrink without bowing inwards?

How long is polyfiber good for if it's unused and hangared?

My goodness

Awesome thank you… can you make a video on how to repair a 2-3” fuselage tear or hole that went through?

Whatever system you use, there is always some guy out there who thinks he knows better than the manufacturer.

Great instructional video. This is exactly what I needed.

Is that you or bryan playing horn?

Thanks for sharing

Thank you

What did you do with the old wing tank covers I am looking for a set ?

Good explanation as always

Thank you for this. I'm going to need to use this in a few weeks on the champ wings I'm covering.

As always, good short video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience

Nice and concise. Thanks for doing these fabric tips.

It truly is a Beauty.....

Great idea

I much perfer the first method. much easier.

beautiful!

Neat job. How did you fix the piano hinge to the metal sheet? I like the low profile - a rivet will not get the same results?

How much did this work cost?? I have a J3…hmmmm……

Thank you for all of your fabric tip Fridays. They are very helpful and very much appreciated.

Thanks for filming these videos. Helps a lot learning in advance how to lay a fabric. Even though it is a Sonerai that I will need to cover (metal wings) getting the general understanding on working with fabric helps with other places like rudders where similar techniques are used. Will go an EAA course first but watching you videos gives a jump start!

One of the best tutorials I've heard. Plain simple, and something a lot of folks have messed up on. Thanks

Beautiful plane..

Once as a young man I used to race motocross and worked in a dealership that serviced and sold general and competition classed bikes. It was interesting how many people would come in and have an issue with one bike in the same class being 8lbs heavier than the one beside it. Despite the heavier one being faster, having a better power to weight ratio, suspension etc. So these people were making an issue of the 8lbs heavier bike while the customer would be 25lbs overweight. Now that I'm an older man and 30lbs overweight I know longer blame the extra coat of primer or paint.

@3:03 "There's no way I can show you how to paint. I been doing it for 25, 30 years and I still don't know how to paint" I literally laughed out loud. I'm exactly the same way. Been painting forever, it usually turns out okay but I still don't know how to paint and certainly couldn't tell somebody else how to do it. Subscribed 😆

Simple and straightforward tip! Thanks for sharing!

Do you ever apply the glue with a sprayer or airbrush? Seems like a way to get a smooth application without ridges, etc.?

Always appreciate U'ns tips. How about that video about plumbing wing tanks to main tank. If not you guys, then9 tell Ron and don they are past due.

Do you ever use surgeon's knots as opposed to square + 2 half hitches?

Great video. I'm watching all your stuff with plans of making a "zeppelin" trailer body. Have you considered using an IR camera to look at the iron sole to see the hot spots? They have cheap ones that fit on smart phones.

What is the rule / your feeling on using a hot knife to cut the fabric?

Awesome information. I'm looking forward to more information if you'd be giving classes for fabric soon. Thanks a bunch for your videos they are awesome!

Rate of climb?

Leave it to a couple of good old boys from Arkansas to make the most complex knot in the world understandable. Woo Pig Souie

Lindo de mais

Thanks for the good instructions as I'm watching my way through your series. Your tips and techniques from experience are super valuable. Thanks for sharing your skills and what I call tribal knowledge. Cheers!

whats the wing span.

Nice tip

I am building a 1928 Morgan three wheeler Aero which has a wood frame and is covered with fabric and then originally nitrate but I believe I am going to use Butyrate dope. I believe I will be able to use inexpensive Dacron or ceconite because it will not be flying. If you see this what are your thoughts on what I am trying to accomplish.

Thanks Robbie, I painted my first car (62 corvair) in 1968 after my brother fender bent it one Friday night. I remember when monocoat first came out around the same time the Beattles. Before we glues tissue paper down to balsa withe dope and Ambrose orange colored glue. Then on to airplanes and dopes and synthetic finishes. I always thought that a paint chemists nightmare would be "paint and seal this fabric on a dynamic structure." Wet edges rule, the landing flair, the gas welded puddle, eye to hand coordination is the mark of a blessed man.

What is the best way to remove paint from fabric in order to do a new paint job?
