covering materials apply over type structure used Vin 11 Silk also adds considerable strength structure since shrinks puts entire structure under compression same principle stressed skin used construction aircraft since before World War II Plastic covering materials cannot serve same purpose since relax cold flow after few days Some synthetic materials also can bad since shrink equally along axis will often cause structure warp Silk probably oldest covering material around havent used before havent used recent years would like drop few application hints structure should sanded

Silk should well sealed clear dope before colored paint applied first couple coats clear always criti cal since heavy blotches dope may appear prevent nice smooth finish being obtained trick
