    Default Re-covering question

    I am recovering a wing that was built about 2 years ago - wrecked my plane. I have removed all of the fabric. Do I need to remove all of the polybrush, or can I just recoat the polybrush, or can I just begin applying polytac? Thanks, Tom Livermore SS7 Rotax 912ULS

    I would call Polyfiber; they were always very helpful and available to phone calls.

    The solvents in the new polybruch you are applying will soften the old stuff and make a homogeneous layer. However, never a bad idea to talk to the manufacturer.

    Yep call polyfiber. You could get a manual from them as well as advice.
