 |
|
I've got a quick question for you Poly Fiber experts. I'm getting ready to start my main wings/ailerons, and flaps on my MkIII. I only have 1 quart of Poly Tak left. (actually, it's just under a quart). Does anyone have an idea how much Poly Tak it takes to cover just the wings, flaps, and ailerons.
All other surfaces (complete tailfeathers and fuselage) are finished. Just the wings. I can't recall how many quarts of Poly Tak I started with, to know much it took to get to this point.
I think I may have used one quart so far, but I can't remember.
I don't want to get in the middle of doing the wings, and run out. I'd rather have it on hand, if I need it anyway.
Thanks, Mike Welch

Sounds like you have enough to me....?
You "do" know how to "revive" the stuff after it's gotten hard , right ?
Otherwise, you'd be waste'n a bunch...

Mike,
If you mean brushing on MEK or Poly Fiber reducer, to soften a glued spot, yes.
If you're talking about reviving the Poly Tak cement after it turns brown, then no. And that happpend to me, too.
I bought this Kolb MkIII kit from TOK (The Old Kolb) and all the Poly Fiber stuff (from Jim Miller) back in 1998. I covered the fuselage and some tailfeather pieces. After a few years, the rest of my Poly Tak went dark gooey on me. Dondi said "chuck it, and start over." Which I did last year. (including tearing off ALL the old fabric that was installed prior to this last fall.) Mostly, the fabric removal on the fuselage was due to the redesign the fuselage, to look like an Xtra.
Anyway, you think ONE QUART should do the wings??? Ok, I'll hang in there with just one quart. Besides, after finishing one wing, if I have used more than half of my quart, well....time to order some more, I guess.
Thanks, Mike W
