the dope as a filler on the latter coats. I usually wait a week or so after the

Thanks. As I remember Roy applied the cloth with a paint product rather than<br>
epoxy as part of the finishing process.<br>
I will certainly check out the DVD. I expect it has many things of interest.<br>

Jim,<br>
It's not quite the article you're looking for, but Don Ramsey has an<br>
excellent DVD on applying a lightweight painted finish to wings. I vaguely<br>
remember the Speights article and I think Don's methods are similar, if not<br>
identical. They involve lightweight 3/4 oz (or less) glass cloth and thinned<br>
epoxy. I can't imagine a lighter method for a painted wing. If that's what<br>
you have in mind, I'd suggest you pick up a copy of Don's DVD. I think<br>
they're available on his Barnstormer web site.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps<br>

Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Looking for a how-to article<br>
<br>
Help, here is a memory check for you long time members.<br>
Quite some years ago Roy Speights wrote an article on how to apply a<br>
lightweight painted finish to wings. I would like a copy of the article but<br>
don't know where to start looking. It may have been in the K-Factor during<br>
his vice presidency in 1989 & 90 but I no longer have those issues.<br>
Thanks<br>
Jim<br>
