Introduction


Hangar 9 UltraCote® is a high tech polyester covering that includes a unique multi temperature-controlled adhesive and shrinkage system, making it versatile and simple to apply. A trademarked polymerizing procedure completely fuses the color to the polyester film covering, getting rid of the possibilities of color-layer separation and permits rearranging the covering on your design. UltraCote's unique ability to both shrink and extend make it remarkable to other coverings for walking around tight curves and wingtips.
 
Temperature varieties are as follows:

Adhesion to wood begins at 200 to 220 degrees F.
Shrinkage beginning begins at 300 degrees F.
Maximum shrinkage is at 350 degrees F.



 



Surface area Preparation:

The covering task can only be as excellent as the surface of the surface area it's applied over. In order for the covering to properly follow a surface area, the surface area should initially be smooth and tidy. Sand the design utilizing a sanding block and gradually finer sandpaper, with the last sanding being done with 320 grit paper. Vacuum away all the dust, as specks of dust under the covering will leave undesirable bumps. Fill gaps and damages with a premium filler. If utilizing light-colored UltraCote® (such as white or yellow), use a tan-colored filler that matches the wood color to avoid the filler from revealing through.


Pro Suggestion - Some expert contractors “raise the grain” then sand a second time with 320 or 400 grit paper for the supreme surface. After the design is sanded, use a wet cloth to clean down the design. Some modelers prefer to use a fine-mist squirt bottle filled with water to dampen the surfaces to be covered. As the surface area dries, imbedded wood fibers in the surface area will “stand up.” When dry, sand the surfaces again utilizing 320 or 400 grit paper. Raising the grain now and sanding it off will avoid the grain from raising later under the covering, creating a rough surface. Vacuum the design completely and avoid touching the design with oily hands.Your design is now ready for covering!



Trim Film to Size:

Start by covering the bottom of one wing half. Using scissors or sharp hobby knife, cut a piece of UltraCote® a few inches bigger than had to cover the wing. Remove the support (save for later) and put the covering with the adhesive (dull) side down, centered over the wing. Set the covering iron to the application temperature of 220°F.


Pro Suggestion - If the iron you're utilizing does not show the real temperature, here is an idea that will guarantee your iron is properly set.Water boils at 212°F. Allow your iron to warm up at a medium setting. When the iron reaches its stabilized temperature, thoroughly put a few drops of water on the iron's surface area. Adjust the temperature till the water simply begins to boil off. This method is surprisingly precise and is typically within 10° (of the exact application temperature of 220).



Adding Covering to Spar:

Tack the covering to the spar or the peak of the wing, utilizing your iron as shown (an iron sock is extremely recommened). Gently pull the covering toward the root and toward the suggestion, as you work the iron from the center of the spar to the root and suggestion of the wing. Press carefully with the iron, allowing the heat (not pressure) to trigger the adhesive and bond the covering to the peak. Preferably, the covering will naturally lay flat against the whole surface area with a minimum of wrinkles.



Covering a Solid-Sheeted Wing:

If covering a solid-sheeted wing, work from the center of the spar outside to the trailing edge then to the cutting edge as shown, utilizing the iron at 220°F. If a wrinkle establishes, the covering can be thoroughly lifted and reapplied.



Covering an Open-Structure Wing:

If covering an open-structure wing, work from the spar toward the trailing edge, carefully sliding the iron (set at 220°) toward the trailing edge with the iron getting in touch with two ribs. Using your iron, adhere the covering to the staying ribs, pursuing the suggestion and the root. Now complete the open structure leading edge, utilizing the exact same method. If the leading edge is sheeted, then follow the technique noted above under “Covering a Solid-Sheeted Wing.”



Sealing the Edges:

With the iron set to 220°F, seal the leading and trailing edges. Using a straight edge and a sharp #11 hobby knife, thoroughly trim the excess covering from the leading and trailing edge, allowing a minimum of a 1/4" overlap to twist around the leading and trailing edge of the wing. Now seal the leading and trailing edges securely with the covering iron.



Wing Suggestion:

Depending upon the amount of the curvature of the wing suggestion, high heat (up to 350°F) may be had to shrink and extend the covering to remove all the wrinkles. Preset the iron to 300°F. Pull and extend the covering around the wing suggestion while applying heat with the iron. Remember, UltraCote® can be thoroughly lifted and rearranged to help remove wrinkles. This feature is helpful, especially when covering greatly curved wing pointers. Continue working, pulling, and heating up the covering around the suggestion till the covering is past the center of the suggestion. It may be necessary to increase the temperature of the iron to accomplish higher shrinkage to remove all wrinkles. Trim the excess covering utilizing a #11 hobby knife, then reseal the covering on the wing suggestion.


Pro Suggestion - If sealing the covering in tight locations such as corners or fillets, utilizing the Hanger 9 ProTrim Sealing To
