Important Note:
The colors used in the printing are soluble with acetone and MEK. If you are going to use a fuel
proofing or other finish check for color fastness first. If the solution you are going to use reacts with the
finish try a different brand not based with acetone or MEK. If you need to use this type of finish it can be
applied with an air brush applied with several light dusting. Do not use a heavy spray the colors will
run. We strongly suggest that you test the procedure on a scrap piece first. When your work is finished
clean your iron on an old piece of wool carpeting. Don’t panic if there seem to be too many large
creases in the material as it’s going on. Remember, the fabric is not like any other material you’ve used
before just work the iron slowly across the creases using a light but firm pressure and like magic
they will disappear.
Short Cut Tips:
* Check the direction of the pattern with your scale documentation and pre plan the
fabric layout.
* When using the fabric sock on the iron you can increase the temperature if you keep the sock very
wet. This allows a more efficient heat transfer to the fabric with out damaging the printing.
* We use only PolyTex fabrics for the camouflage base.
Fabric Opacity:
Poly Tex fabric we have found is superior to Super Coverite and other types of covering especially in the
aggressiveness of the adhesive. It is also extremely light weight however because of the thinness of the
material it does allow strong light to pass through the weave of the material. This typically is not a
problem on small scale models but does require additional preparation steps for larger scales and large
open areas. This is solved by first priming all covered wood surfaces with a coat of white or grey primer
to hide the wood grain. For wings apply the underside fabric first, for fuselages apply the top and sides
first. This will block the light from passing through the model and hide the internal structure. The
primer we use is commonly found at ACE, Home Depot or Lowes Hardware stores.
