My question is how much of each of the Poly-tak, Poly-brush, Poly-Spray, Poly tone, and Reducer do I need to cover the entire plane? This will greatly help me in the costing of the finishing materials that I will need. I also have to ship all this materials by sea from the US to the Philippines and it takes 45 to 60 days to get here. DErwin
Hi there. I am a Newbee here and was a member of the old forum in yahoogroups.I am building a Double Eagle here in the Philippines. I ordered the kit and started the build a few years back. I already finished the fuse and tail feathers more than a year ago and I just finished building the two wings. I will be varnishing the two wings in the next few weeks and then proceed to covering them with fabric. I already have the fabric(1.7 Oz uncertified) some Poly-tak glue and some Poly-brush. I also bought the Poly-Fiber aircraft coatings book and did some advance reading in preparation for the covering and painting. Though I am still quite hesitant to proceed with the system due to the cost issue. My question is how much of each of the Poly-tak, Poly-brush, Poly-Spray, Poly tone, and Reducer do I need to cover the entire plane? This will greatly help me in the costing of the finishing materials that I will need. I also have to ship all this materials by sea from the US to the Philippines and it takes 45 to 60 days to get here. Can anyone please advice me on the quantity of the above materials they used in finishing their DE using the Poly-Fiber system? I did entertain the idea of using Latex paint so I contacted Sherwin William's here in the Philippines but never got a reply from them.Looking forward for your inputs. DErwin
