Hi guys,

I took Jeff Smalls advice and purchased some wing walk material from Ray 

Allen

Company.  The material deserves a second look by anyone wishing there were a

better wing walk material than what looks and feels like roofing shingles.



After cutting it to size and rounding off the corners, I placed it 

exactly where it needed

to be.  Daughter Sara picked up 6-inches of the forward end and 

separated the peel-

off material, cut off the excess peel strip and folded corners each side 

at the cut and I pushed

the material down while continuing to hold position for the lower half.  

When the front

portion was stuck down, the rear portion was lifted and peel strip 

corners were pulled to

separate the peel off material. I worked to spread the contact area back 

to the

other end.  Two rows of rivets were underneath this material and a pin 

prick near each

rivet allowed the air to be removed. A 5/16 nylock nut was used to push 

the material

down around each rivet. The whole operation for both wings was done in 

about 30-minutes.



Thanks Jeff, this material is exactly what I was looking for and the 

finish is non-skid

without the associated loose grit.

How about a nice close up picture?

Hi Tim,

Just punch up these two links for pictures of the wing walks with the 

Ray Allen

Company material.  This is a no grit, textured surface that remains a good

non-skid material and would remain easy on the knees and elbows.
