Frank,
It reminds me of when I covered the FireFly. Did what I thought was a good
job of shrinking the fabric with irons. I had the wings hung up so I could
walk around them. I brushed on the sealer, and then followed by spraying
aluminum on the upper surfaces and two coats of color with the minimum
recommended wait time between coats. It was all done in one afternoon. After
cleaning out the spray equipment and changing clothes, I went back down to
the shop to take a look. Things did not look good. The fabric was hanging
loose and the color was a dull rusty red. Closed the doors and left it. A
day later it looked better, and in five days the fabric was tight and the
red was bright. That is how long it took the solvent vapors to migrate from
the inside of the wing and out of the fabric to the out side.
