Re-curving mylar on a glider

Unless you've ot a *really* long oven, that leaves you with
a lot of small pieces, no ? Its a lot nicer (and easier to apply
with proper technique) to have longer strips, no ?

Dave,
Here is what I do.I buy the 7 mil sheets (I figure it provides less
friction than the 10 mil) and roll it up inside of a peice of carpet
roll tube.Then I bake it at about 160 in the oven for 30 minutes.Then
cut it into strips and use scotch 665 double sided tape to adhear it to
the wings and 3M 850 mylar tape for the safety strip.I can do top and
bottom of my flaps ailerons and tail a couple times over for about 50
bucks.I replace it every 3 to 5 years and I have never had a
problem.This does seem a little less entertaning than your buddys
method, but it works fine.
