For some reason the PDF I uploaded wont open on my phone or Kindle so I turned the file into a picture so it's usable.

So the moral of the story is all our planes should be blue metallic

JUST Kidding! Awesome info and thanks for all the work that went into this test...I feel it really shows the various methods are all largely similar and the skill of the person applying matters more than the materials.

I agree Wacobipe, I could have the perfect shop, materials, and equipment and I'm pretty sure my results would still not look like these guys!

Thanks for that Jetpainter! Your work really does seem to support the idea that the applicator has more to do with success than the application.

Can I pick your brain a little? You mention in the results the use of hairspray. Are you using it as a sealer on the bare balsa or as a method of holding the cloth in place? Or for something else entirely?

TIA, Dave
