- wtb esaki silk - RC Groups
I have used a lot of silk for models since 1963 and never did find the Japanese silk any better than the Habotai silks with one exception some Esaki color designs were just to cool to NOT use on an airplane China silk ---AKA Habotai silk ----sold by Dharma can be had in colors 8MM ,,or pure white 5MM or 8MM for under $6 per yard
- Covering a foam plane? Glass it, iron-on, homebrew, silk??
Silk is much lighter than firerglass, some say stronger Enough silk for plane weighed less than 1 2 oz Silk can conform around 3-D shapes After sanding and spackling, Hold silk against foam, brush on thinned glue Takes a little fussing to keep the silk down until dry Heat gun helps a lot Overlap pieces of silk

Silkspan is my standard material for solid surfaces For my 40 and 60 size airplanes I use the GM weight I always apply it wet

Silk can be difficult to cover with if you have not used it before Back in the day when Dinosaurs still roamed the earth was still cooling and I was young I used a lot of SIG Silkspan in the heavy weight on C L and some small R C airplanes ( 40 and under size)

Pretty sure it's an iron fabric, still tight as a drum, silk and dope is a real lost art and utterly amazing when done right! But kinda hard to repair later if need be QUOTE=mlachow;52346967]Are you sure it's iron on covering? Might be real old timer covering
- Matte finished covering - RC Groups
Just use one of the many fabric choices - silkspan, poly span, silk, Sig Koverall, Solartex, I never use plastic on a model that demands a fabric type covering Mike Mar 22, 2016 , 11:16 AM
