COVQ1807   Coverite CoverLite   Dark Green 19-1/2x36"

TECH NOTES
 This is CoverLite Iron-On Dark Green Synthetic Tissue Covering from Coverite.
        A strong, tough, synthetic material to replace tissue and dope.
  ++Additional Technical Information Will Be Added As It Becomes Available.++
FEATURES: Ideal for covering light-weight or Park Flyer models.
          Extremely light weight of only .89 ounce per square yard (28g per
            square meter).
          CoverLite is sealed to a model with heat, and is factory "doped" with
            a totally fuelproof resin.  It is not only resistant to glow and
            diesel fuel, but is also airproof and waterproof.  Very easy to
            apply to a model with Coverite Balsarite or CoverLite Adhesive-
            (see COMMENTS).
          Stronger and more puncture-resistant than normal doped tissue, and
            can be painted with Coverite 21st Century spray paint.
          Comes folded in a bag (5"x 5.5") with a hangable header card.
          90 day warranty.

          Preparation before using CoverLite Covering:
            Fill all cracks and hollows.  Sand all parts to be covered to
            remove bumps or unevenness which would show through the covering.
            Wipe away all sanding residues.  There are two methods of applying
            CoverLite, depending on whether the part being covered is an open
            framework or is a solid surface, such as sheet balsa.
          Method #1, Open Framework:
            With a small piece of plastic sponge apply a very thin coat of
            CoverLite Adhesive or Balsarite to the framework.  Pay particular
            attention to the outer edges (leading and trailing edges are
            longerons).  Areas of sheet balsa should be coated all over.  Allow
            the CoverLite Adhesive or Balsarite to dry (15-30 minutes).  Cut a
            panel of CoverLite at least 1" (25mm) larger all around the frame-
            work to be covered and lay the CoverLite on the framework.  Set
            your iron between 195-212 degrees F (90-100 degrees C) and tack the
            CoverLite in place at a few points around the edges, using the toe
            of the iron.  While tacking, gently pull the CoverLite to get a
            smooth fit without wrinkles.  Do not try to get the CoverLite drum-
            tight, just smooth and wrinkle-free.  Reheating and peeling back
            while hot allows the CoverLite to be repositioned.  Then seal the
            CoverLite all around the edges of the frame with the iron.  Trim
            excess CoverLite from around the edge with a sharp blade and reseal
            the edges.  Where panels of CoverLite meet and overlap, the overlap
            has to be coated with CoverLite Adhesive or Balsarite (and dried)
            so it can be ironed down.  It is best to apply this CoverLite
            Adhesive or Balsarite with a fine brush BEFORE trimming away the
            excess CoverLite.
          Method #2, Solid Surfaces:
            Solid surfaces such as sheet balsa, ply and veneer.  With a scrap
            of moistened plastic sponge, apply a thin coat of CoverLite
            Adhesive or Balsarite all over the surface to be covered.  Cut a
            panel of CoverLite oversize and tape it down on a smooth surface
            and apply a very thin coat of CoverLite Adhesive or Balsarite.
            Allow to dry.  Place the coated side of the CoverLite onto the
            coated surface and iron down with a cool iron (about 195 degrees F
            (90 degrees C)).  Start at the center and iron outward toward the
            edges to avoid trapping air under the CoverLite.  If the CoverLite
            wrinkles around the iron, lower the iron temperature.  CoverLite
            can be contoured around slight double curves by heating and gently
            pulling.  For large area of double curvature, it is easiest to cut
            the CoverLite into "fingers" which are ironed down in succession.
