So PPG discontinued their Delta line of paint products. Many folks have asked, and continue to ask about the system I used to cover my airplane and our experimental airplanes in the shop. the new revision is as follows:
Superflite heavy fabric, it accepts the glue better than ceconite. if requested double covered with a layer of medium to first compression rib before laying down full layer. see my build thread for pics and description. round lace cord, polyfiber hidden knot. 3" tapes on ribs.
3M 30-NF Adhesive to glue fabric to airframe basically following stewarts system instructions with a few other little tricks.
Weave sealed with straight 30-NF rolled on open areas using a 6" foam paint roller. wipe off excess using blue shop towels.
PPG Delfleet Evolution Primer F3970 mixed 3:1 with F3971 Hardener and then 1/2 part F3331 Reducer and 1 part DX814 Flex Agent.
Top coat with Sherwin Williams Acryglo base clear system.
