In order for the covering to properly adhere to a surface, the surface must first be smooth and clean. Sand the model using a sanding block and progressively finer sandpaper, with the final sanding being done with 320 grit paper. Vacuum away all of the dust, as specks of dust under the covering will leave unsightly bumps. Fill gaps and dents with a high-quality filler. If using light-colored UltraCote® (such as white or yellow), use a tan-colored filler that matches the wood color to prevent the filler from showing through.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd bgcolor=\"#cccccc\" colspan=\"2\" height=\"123\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\" face=\"Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\"\u003ePro Tip\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\" face=\"Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e-\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\" face=\"Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"2\"\u003eSome professional builders “raise the grain” then sand a second time with 320 or 400 grit paper for the ultimate finish.

As the surface dries, imbedded wood fibers in the surface will “stand up.” When dry, sand the surfaces again using 320 or 400 grit paper. Raising the grain now and sanding it off will prevent the grain from raising later under the covering, creating a bumpy finish.

In order for the covering to properly adhere to a surface, the surface must first be smooth and clean. Sand the model using a sanding block and progressively finer sandpaper, with the final sanding being done with 320 grit paper. Vacuum away all of the dust, as specks of dust under the covering will leave unsightly bumps. Fill gaps and dents with a high-quality filler.

As the surface dries, imbedded wood fibers in the surface will “stand up.” When dry, sand the surfaces again using 320 or 400 grit paper.

Vacuum away all of the dust, as specks of dust under the covering will leave unsightly bumps. Fill gaps and dents with a high-quality filler.

As the surface dries, imbedded wood fibers in the surface will “stand up.” When dry, sand the surfaces again using 320 or 400 grit paper.

Allow your iron to warm up at a medium setting. When the iron reaches its stabilized temperature, carefully pour a few drops of water on the iron's surface. Adjust the temperature until the water just begins to boil off. This method is surprisingly accurate and is generally within 10° (of the exact application temperature of 220).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd bgcolor=\"#ffffff\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"img-fluid\" align=\"left\" width=\"238\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horizonhobby.com\/on\/demandware.static\/-\/Sites-horizon-master\/default\/Scene7Images\/GT_3-covering-top-of-wing3.jpg\" height=\"151\" hspace=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd bgcolor=\"#ffffff\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\" style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003eTacking Covering to Spar:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan size=\"2\" face=\"Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\" style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eTack the covering to the spar or the high point of the wing, using your iron as shown (an iron sock is highly recommened).

Sand the model using a sanding block and progressively finer sandpaper, with the final sanding being done with 320 grit paper. Vacuum away all of the dust, as specks of dust under the covering will leave unsightly bumps. Fill gaps and dents with a high-quality filler.

As the surface dries, imbedded wood fibers in the surface will “stand up.” When dry, sand the surfaces again using 320 or 400 grit paper.
