Gromit Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Big bear, looks very nice :cool: I see you've not used any x weave tape at all ? When you say laminated i assume you mean lam film ? What was the 3m di-noc vinyl like to apply ? Stu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3m actually went on easier than the Lam Film! I sprayed some carpet adhesive spray on before Using lam film and the 3m and the adhesion is great. As I said any wrinkles in the 3m and a little gear from the hair dryer sorted that out. Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gromit Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I've been hunting for 20 mins trying to find a local supplier of the di-noc carbon effect vinyl. Could you tell me where you got yours from please Adam. Stu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janek Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 The only thing that detracts from a great finish is the aileron tape, maybe you should consider doing a silicon hinge (quick search tells me that they do make black silicone sealer) Easy to criticise, sorry, it really does look great :clap: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satinet Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 That's going to be a nightmare to see in the air! Looks nice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isoaritfirst Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 It does look very pretty. Nice job. Option for the elevons may be to reverse the hinge and have the tape on the bottom, looks like the horns are top mounted so bottom hinged would increase their length as well. Probably all to late now though of you shaped the trailing edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gromit Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Thanks Andy, there does apear to be a number of similar products out there all claiming to be the best. I was impressed with the stuff Adam used on his JW. It went neatly round the corners, wrinkle & air bubble free too. I'l drop him a pm .
