5 minutes of softening the Poly Tak with mek and the damaged top piece removed easily. Another 15 minutes and a new piece was underway.

I added a piece of balsa to my scissors to create a buffer while I trimmed the covering. It works well.

A little bit of paint and it will be in the air. 63f in the burgh today, put two flights on the Super Cub, 9 mph cross wind, no fun.

Dating back more years than I want to admit is the concern of how to cover the Cub in the window area. Knowing now the shrinkage, the thread shedding when i cut and wanting a single piece per side my concern is turning into worry.

The cloth shrinkage can be a pain. Just going to patch the aileron control arm areas.

I glue fabric on a square frame and preshrink it to 250 f then give it a light coat of Poly Brush before cutting with the pinking shears. The Poly Brush locks the pinked edges in, sometime they will unravel. Then you can iron the patches with 250 iron with worry about shrinkage.
