Poly Fiber Manual
by Jon Goldenbaum
Poly-Fiber Aircraft Coatings - How to Cover an Aircraft Using the Poly-Fiber System is a very complete, highly illustrated, and step by step guide to covering and finishing any fabric covered wood, steel tubed, or aluminum frame aircraft. Every step is explained in detail including preparation required tools and materials, fabric attachment, tightening, rib lacing, grommet installation, and application of all required chemicals including top coat paints. Several reference documents are included plus a full catalog of Poly-fiber products. An excellent value at a seriously inexpensive price. This manual goes well and serves as a complete training program when used in conjunction with the Aircraft Fabric Covering video which is available in both VHS and DVD formats.
