Anyone using a covering supplier that's better (cheaper, better service, etc) than A/C Spruce?

Use the covering that A/C Spruce refers to as peel ply.

Thanks; I've heard of using regular polyester fabric. But at roughly a
$3 price delta, it's only a $40 spread for all the fabric I'll need.

Sounds like Spruce is the go-to place, then.
My fabric guy (yeah, I've got a fabric guy) is willing to try Stewart
System glue, so I think we'll give that a shot. That plus Wienerdog
Aero's Latex painting technique, & we should be good to go.

Do a little research, the latex may be heavier than some other systems.

This is the reference I've used; he supplies links to other research that he did.http://wienerdogaero.com/Latex.php
I'm not paranoid about occasional use of most chemicals, but something cleaner/safer will work just as well, and save a bit of money at the same time, I'll take it. But don't expect mine to look like the results he gets.

Hey Herb,
Looks like I might need to rethink that. Are you talking about this:http://www.aircraftspruce.com/pages/cs/fabric/peelply3.php
vs this:
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/pages/cs/fabric/polyfiberuncertified.php
?
The peel ply doesn't have any thread count or strength specs on the Spruce site, so I can't directly compare. Measurements indicate that I can half-wrap the wing with a 5' width of the peel ply, so the extra foot of Polyfiber would just get cut away, anyway.
Thanks,Â
Charlie

the heavier fabric is much easier to work with imho..  2.7 peel ply...just need to be careful tautening the fabric on the wings..
 Interestingly...the older Challengers had no bottom rib runners...and the fabric just layed across the front and real spar.. root rib to wing tip!! a real flap in the breeze...I can imagine hitting a duck and having a real problem...not so much with a Kolb...Herb

I 'm reusing a pair of wings. I've already recovered one wing using the Stewart system and painted it along the lines of Weiner Dog, except I'm painting art scenes on the wings so more paint than normal. Weighed recovered wing against wing with old poly fiber. The new wing only weighed 3 oz more

Another tip, buy Fastbond NF Green on
Amazon, it's the same adhesive as Stewart at half
the price

Sounds like Spruce is the go-to place, then.
My fabric guy (yeah, I've got a fabric guy) is
willing to try Stewart
System glue, so I think we'll give that a shot. That
plus Wienerdog
Aero's Latex painting technique, & we should be good
to go.

Kolbers:
I have never been one to mix and match when it came to covering an aircraft. Always used the Stitts/Polyfiber process.
I never forget the unforgiving environment us aviators play.
Always sad when I think of Steve Whitman and his wife dying because of a covering mix and match mistake.
Realize it cost more to use the Polyfiber process, but am also comfortable knowing it'll be there for a long time. My right wing and most of my tail section is 26 year old Stitts process. Left wing is 16 years old.

John,
Nail, Head, direct hit!
I think the latex system that Malcom has come up with is a good system and if I had the patience and skill to do all that wet sanding I might have gone that route.
As much as I enjoyed building my Firefly, the goal was to fly!
Don’t mix processes and follow the instructions for the process you use.

I asked Malcom about this at OSH a few years back. He said the weight is almost identical. He can sure put a beautiful finish on fabric!
This is the perfect system for those who:
Want to work without the "stink"
Save money.
Have more time than I do....

I appreciate the caution, and I'm not that prone to stray where no one's been before, either. I did order Poly brand cloth (polyester), and the Stewart System glue.Both the latex finishing technique, and the Stewart adhesive have been around for a long time, so I'm comfortable with those decisions.
The Steve Whitman story, as I remember it, was that he switched from the old 'dope' and course weave fabric to the newer process. The story I heard was that the dope & course weave allowed you to position the fabric and then just apply dope to the outside, and it soaked through to the ribs. But the new, finer weave fabric & adhesive required applying the adhesive directly to the ribs, positioning the fabric, and then applying additional adhesive over the fabric, because the weave was too tight for the adhesive to easily soak through. Again, as I remember it, he mixed *techniques*; not the actual chemicals. By only applying the adhesive on the outside, only a minimal amount made it through to the ribs.
Those with better memories, feel free to correct me if I'm mis-remembering.
Charlie
