Time Lapse 17: Painting Silver On The Control Surfaces Of The Alaska Airmen 2016 Super Cub


What does the painting process entail? There are six basic steps:

  1. Glue on the fabric with Poly-Tak fabric cement; tighten it with the heat of a calibrated iron.
  2. Brush on a coat of Poly-Brush fabric sealer.
  3. Riblace, then apply gussets and finishing tapes with more Poly-Brush.
  4. Spray on two more coats of Poly-Brush.
  5. Spray on three cross coats of silver Poly-Spray to block ultraviolet radiation.
  6. Spray on three coats of top coat paint.

Total fabric and coating weight is about 60 pounds. For more information on the Poly Fiber process, visit http://polyfiber.com/stits/.
