Koverall is a cloth covering of the type used on full scale aircraft, but lighter weight. (1 1/4 oz. per qu yd) for models. Koverall can be used on almost all R?C models large or small. It's superior strength and low price has made Koverall a real favorite with builders of giant size models. It's the most economical cloth covering you can buy!
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
Sand the framework carefully, removing any excess glue or rough spots. No covering will conceal poor workmanship.
Brush a coat of cler supercoat, lite coat dope or nitrate dope on the entire framework. When dry, sand with fine sandpaper and brush on a second coat. When dry, again sand lightly to remove any raised grain or wood fuzz.
SIG Koverall is an uncoated, heat shrinkable, plan fabric. It has no glue on it. To adhere Koverall to a model, you can either dope it on (the traditional silk and dope method) or better yet, use SIG Stix-IT heat activated covering adhesive. Just brush a coat of Stix-It on the model framework. Let it dry then iron on the Koverall just like you would a much more expensive iron-on fabric covering. Once the Koverall is stuck down around the edges, it can be shrunk perfectly tight with an iron or heat gun. Seal the Koverall with 1-2 coasts of Sig nitrate clear dope and then apply the finish your choice.
