Single Piece Cover Question (Model III)

2 posts in this topic

Posted

Question for you all:
 
I am covering my horizontal stab and rudder today.  I am trying to use a single piece of fabric for each in a wrap mode.
 
Mi intial thought here is to glue it to the non-hinge ends and have the non glued wrap on the large tube diameter (hinge tube).
 
Is this correct?  If so, when you glue to the two halves together (first half is already glued and dried) how do you keep puckering from happening (i.e. it glues beyond the 90 degree point on the tube as the fabric it is being glued to is not yet shrunk?
 
I did my elevator using a two piece method (bottom and then top) and didnt have this issue as I was gluing the second sheet to a shrunk fabric.

Tried putting glue on the tube that gets the overall wrap and that worked fine.  All set now.
