| Subject: | Re: aileron gap seal: when? |
Well, I took a shot at living in both worlds. The blue stripe is
painter's tape. Trying to keep primer & finish off the bond line on
trailing edge & aileron leading edge. Hoping to complete the finish,
then get a good bond on the finish tape as gap seal, then do the
finishing on the finishing tape. :-) A bit more trouble than binding
tape, but less hassle than trying to flip the wing repeatedly without
assistance.
I'll let the list know how it works out.
As a reminder, I'm using Ekobond for fabric attachment, and latex for
primer/finish.

any sticky tape stay stuck when used as a gap seal, especially in the area of
that pusher prop.
