Painting with Latex House Paint
Lots of the skin on frame kayak guys use polyester skins (heavier
weight than airplane however). They prefer oil based house paint, and just thin the first few coats enough so as to have it soak thru the fabric to encapsulate the fibers. Just a data point from a similar construction style. Never tried it on a plane. Brian Huffaker, DSWL ) RV-8A #80091 countersinking cockpit rails Starduster Too 23UT flying |

However, good Latex DOES stand up relatively well even in that application, on cotton canvas anyway. *** Free account sponsored by SecureIX.com *** *** Encrypt your Internet usage with a free VPN account from http://www.SecureIX.com *** |
