guillow flyboy ?

Post by jinxjx »

Hi, i have a couple questions, I plan to use a light dusting or 2 of krylon satin clear on the tissue after its been shrunk and dried. Do i first glue the rudder and stab on the fuselage, then spray the krylon or do it before ? Also, do i remove any tissue off the bottom rudder edge for the gluing ?.....thank you very much

The answer to your question is Yes. You can do it either way although I prefer to fix the tissue, Krylon, dope or whatever (There are other products you can use to do it.) before I assemble the model. Make sure that you are using UV resistant Krylon especially if you are using colored tissue,

I suggest taking tissue off all mating surfaces that are going to be glued together to make sure the glue sticks to the structure, not the tissue.

yea, its gonna be tough because of the stabilizer design with the 3/32 spars in the center, i guess i can take alittle tissue off the trailing edge and very little off the 3/32 spars but theres not much holding the tissue at that point but i guess it can be done....thank you
