Helpful Hints
Film Covering
Degreaser
Have you ever
wanted to add more film covering (Monokote, Ultracote) to a plane you've already flown?
It's difficult to get all the oil exhaust off the plane so the film will stick. Try using
Cyanoacrylate (CA or superglue) kicker (catalyst). Just spray it on and wipe it off. I've
been told it's a very good degreaser.
Pull Oil out of
Wood
Sometimes firewalls
and engine areas of older planes get soaked with oil from the fuel. This weakens glue
joints to the point where a plane could fall apart in midair. Try using Cyanoacrylate (CA
or superglue) kicker (catalyst). Just spray it on and wipe it off. I've been told it pulls
the oil right out of the wood. Several treatments may be necessary. This also works if a
fuel tank develops a leak and the fuselage gets soaked with fuel.
