Instrucional video on how to apply linen.
Hi all,
I am trying to convince Fred Murrin to put together some sort of instructional video on how to put linen on aircraft. I know most people go with poly fiber & ceconite, but I think that if there were more instructions on how to do linen, I bet more people would us it. So, I guess I am asking how many people would be interested in buying an instructional video from Fred on putting Linen fabric on a reproduction?

I would be very interested in one on rotary engines. Fred is the highest time rotary pilot in the world, and the recognized expert on these engines. Would be great to see and listen to what it takes to restore, maintain and operate one.

I learned covering with Grade A Cotton over 25 years ago from an old timer expert and he always said linen was SO much better to work with. I work with the new materials now but still remember how much nicer Grade A came out and how much fun it was to work with. Neither is more work, just different work.
One area where Grade A always was best was repairs. I can still make a major patch with cotton that no one can find afterwords. It just fills and covers so well it's beyond description. Nothing better than a 6' deep satin reflection in a rubbed out dope finish. Hank Last edited by hank jarrett; 9 November 2009 at 06:27 AM. Reason: spelling, as usual |
