Typically loosely stacked pieces film/carrier protected closed box will suffice 2 Long before contest practice patching film currently using must know ahead time film dry nonsticky wont stick itself must know patch will separate properly carrier film model too weak withstand extra stress patching 3 Inspect structure sure no damage patch damaged structure damage may worsen allowing structure distort may wind up unflyable model must discarded can repaired shop 4 Plan whole patching operation before start particularly large holes braced surfaces sure have room maneuver patch past bracing remove enough bracing give access 5 Apply patch remove carrier replace bracing necessary 6 very minor holes inspect surface proper alignment holes may have overlooked added during patching operation Stress whole model gently waving up down other damage improperly tensioned bracing may become apparent goal restore model its original trim isnt quite pretty Another photos shows end patching sequence patch place carrier has separated patch about removed third photo shows finished patch Preparing patch film personal preference use nonwrinkled newsprint other paper has office-type rubber cement

Typically loosely stacked pieces film/carrier protected closed box will suffice 2 Long before contest practice patching film currently using must know ahead time film dry nonsticky wont stick itself must know patch will separate properly carrier film model too weak withstand extra stress patching 3 Inspect structure sure no damage patch damaged structure damage may worsen allowing structure distort may wind up unflyable model must discarded can repaired shop 4 Plan whole patching operation before start particularly large holes braced surfaces sure have room maneuver patch past bracing remove enough bracing give access 5 Apply patch remove carrier replace bracing necessary 6 very minor holes inspect surface proper alignment holes may have overlooked added during patching operation Stress whole model gently waving up down other damage improperly tensioned bracing may become apparent goal restore model its original trim isnt quite pretty Another photos shows end patching sequence patch place carrier has separated patch about removed third photo shows finished patch Preparing patch film personal preference use nonwrinkled newsprint other paper has office-type rubber cement

Typically loosely stacked pieces film/carrier protected closed box will suffice 2 Long before contest practice patching film currently using must know ahead time film dry nonsticky wont stick itself must know patch will separate properly carrier film model too weak withstand extra stress patching 3 Inspect structure sure no damage patch damaged structure damage may worsen allowing structure distort may wind up unflyable model must discarded can repaired shop 4 Plan whole patching operation before start particularly large holes braced surfaces sure have room maneuver patch past bracing remove enough bracing give access 5 Apply patch remove carrier replace bracing necessary 6 very minor holes inspect surface proper alignment holes may have overlooked added during patching operation Stress whole model gently waving up down other damage improperly tensioned bracing may become apparent goal restore model its original trim isnt quite pretty Another photos shows end patching sequence patch place carrier has separated patch about removed third photo shows finished patch Preparing patch film personal preference use nonwrinkled newsprint other paper has office-type rubber cement

Typically loosely stacked pieces film/carrier protected closed box will suffice 2 Long before contest practice patching film currently using must know ahead time film dry nonsticky wont stick itself must know patch will separate properly carrier film model too weak withstand extra stress patching 3 Inspect structure sure no damage patch damaged structure damage may worsen allowing structure distort may wind up unflyable model must discarded can repaired shop 4 Plan whole patching operation before start particularly large holes braced surfaces sure have room maneuver patch past bracing remove enough bracing give access 5 Apply patch remove carrier replace bracing necessary 6 very minor holes inspect surface proper alignment holes may have overlooked added during patching operation Stress whole model gently waving up down other damage improperly tensioned bracing may become apparent goal restore model its original trim isnt quite pretty Another photos shows end patching sequence patch place carrier has separated patch about removed third photo shows finished patch Preparing patch film personal preference use nonwrinkled newsprint other paper has office-type rubber cement

tunds Dept x0479 preparation really almost simple six steps proper patching 1 pouring film pour some extra patch film Prepare several pieces patch film store film isnt pressed against carrier Typically loosely stacked pieces film/carrier protected closed box will suffice 2 Long before contest practice patching film currently using must know ahead time film dry nonsticky wont stick itself must know patch will separate properly carrier film model too weak withstand extra stress patching 3 Inspect structure sure no damage patch damaged structure damage may worsen allowing structure distort may wind up unflyable model must discarded can repaired shop 4 Plan whole patching operation before start particularly large holes braced surfaces sure have room maneuver patch past bracing remove enough bracing give access 5 Apply patch remove carrier replace bracing necessary 6 very minor holes inspect surface proper alignment holes may have overlooked added during patching operation Stress whole model gently waving up down other damage improperly tensioned bracing may become apparent goal restore model its original trim isnt quite pretty Another photos shows end patching sequence patch place carrier has separated patch about removed third photo shows finished patch Preparing patch film personal preference use nonwrinkled newsprint other paper has office-type rubber cement applied very narrow band around perimeter use 8 1/2 x 11in pieces storage hoop wide enough otherwise use widest paper will fit inside hoop width After allowing rubber cement dry invert hoop paper down trim patch loose Store patch supply closed flat box safekeeping Such film has typical lifetime two three years should check supply viability beginning season Applying patch Using sharp scissors cut piece patch film least 3/g larger hole directions Use spray atomizer lightly mist film side patch water Invert surface patched lift up patch until contacts surface make sure entire patch touching Use very soft brush apply bead water around edge patch paper carrier will expand wrinkle along least two sides patched surface still inverted hook wrinide carrier sharp object gently pry loose side paper
