Unless you've ot a *really* long oven, that leaves you with

Hi Dave,
In fact it is much easier to apply shorter pieces.
Do you mean that proper technique can not be used, when applying
shorter pieces?
I am able to make six foot long pieces. (I do not use an oven)
I find five feet optimum for me as there would be one break in the
aileron section.
and two in the flap area. I use a .002" self adhesive clear Mylar tape
over the break.
The reason for covering the tight butting joint is, when wiping the
wing for cleaning,
the rag does not catch the corners.
There's is an advantage to making custom seals, one can get a curve and
thickness
for the Mylar that is right for your ship. This may not apply for most
modern gliders
as the factory installs them and it can provide after market seals.
There are many older
gliders were some after market seal may not be ideal.
