 Posted: Mon Feb 22, 2016 5:52 pm Post subject: Wing envelope adhesive?? |
 |
|
When early Kitfox fabric (wing envelopes) were installed I seem to recall
that a strong adhesive was not applied to the wing rib surfaces prior to
installing the fabric envelope. repairs were a different matter requiring
adhesive. Is this wrong?

I have no experience with the envelopes, but covered two Model IVs with the Polyfiber system, the fabric was attached with the adhesive you mention - Polytack. My guess, and strictly a guess, if you were to use a sewed envelope, you would paint the capstrip with Polytack, allowing it to dry, then position the envelope taking it to the first shrink temperature, then rub all rib capstrip surfaces with a rag saturated with MEK to reactivate the adhesive then take to final shrink temps. I seem to recall an envelope technique in the covering manual. I am awaiting a departure at IAH for SFO or I would check my manual.
