Horizontal Stabilizer Covering continued


We decided to buy new irons for our covering.  After some research, we decided on the two Toko T14 Waxing Irons.  They get high praise from other builders.  With the new irons, on low heat (250F) we went back over the previously adhered fabric removing all bubbles and glue buildup.  We then shrunk the fabric with temps of 300F and 350F.  It was very rewarding seeing the fabric tighten up.  We then marked the the fabric where we needed to apply U500 adhesive.  Finally we added two coats of  thinned U500 adhesive up to the previous applied marks.  Hours: 1
