![]() "dale" wrote in message ... Mr. Smith I stand by what I said. Smoothing is using the iron to smooth the Poly Tak underneath the fabric and before any Poly Brush has been put on. Once Poly Brush has been applied the iron is only used on the pinked edges of the tapes. Dale PS Don't be so ugly. FO. Read, if you are capable, (which is in doubt) the key sentence in the "Heat Smoothing" chapter. It says, "The iron's heat replaces most of the sanding." Now if you're also capable of understanding (which is also a matter of considerable doubt) that this chapter comes along in chronological order AFTER a coat of Poly-Brush, could you not admit that the irons may be used to smooth out the coat of Poly-Brush. I doubt it, but at least the poor guy you have gravely misled can know where to find the correct procedure for smoothing the Poly-Brush before he goes to the Poly-Spray. O-Ring the Dingaling claims he's an IA. What the hell you do you claim to be? (Other than someone with a head as hard and thick as adamantine stone?) |

You fellows have it in for Larry and maybe deservedly so but he is right on
this. In the current Poly Fiber Manual Rev. No. 20 July 2001 in the left column of page 52 the second paragraph from the bottom states: "Dried vinyl products, like Poly-Brush and Poly-Tak, start to soften at about 200 degrees. That means you can soften drips, glue bumps and runs at this temperature. You can actually iron out a dried Poly-Brush drip, or you can soften a lump of Poly-Tak under fabric, and iron it smooth."

That's right. You A R E wrong, wrong, wrong. Read the manual again several times. If he read it once, that's more than you've read it. Ironing is all done before you put on the Poly Brush. The only ironing done after the Poly Brush is to the pinked edges of the tapes. Put that iron out in the middle of the fabric and it will melt the Poly Brush leaving marks in it. Brush marks are leveled out by the spray coats of Poly Brush and Poly Spray which is last. You are not reading from the Polyfiber manual, then. Correct on the pink. The pink tint is only there so you can see where you have been and is not recommended inside the cockpit unless it is painted. This is another one who probably did his last cover job --- a patch on a hangarqueen wing --- in 1950. Get thee to a manual and read pages 52 and 53 --- "Heat Smoothing." |
