Summary


Garage 9 UltraCote® is a high technology polyester covering that features a unique multi temperature-controlled adhesive and shrinkage system, making it versatile and easy to use. A trademarked polymerizing procedure permanently fuses the color to the polyester film covering, removing the possibilities of color-layer separation and permits rearranging the covering on your design. UltraCote's unique capability to both shrink and extend make it exceptional to other coverings for going around tight curves and wingtips.
 
Temp ranges are as follows:

Adhesion to wood starts at 200 to 220 degrees F.
Shrinkage beginning starts at 300 degrees F.
Maximum shrinking is at 350 degrees F.



 



Surface area Preparation:

The covering job can only be as great as the finish of the surface it's used over. In order for the covering to properly follow a surface, the surface should first be smooth and clean. Sand the design utilizing a sanding block and progressively finer sandpaper, with the last sanding being maded with 320 grit paper. Vacuum away all of the dust, as specks of dust under the covering will leave unpleasant bumps. Fill gaps and damages with a top quality filler. If utilizing light-colored UltraCote® (such as white or yellow), utilize a tan-colored filler that matches the wood color to avoid the filler from showing through.


Pro Suggestion - Some expert builders “raise the grain” then sand a second time with 320 or 400 grit paper for the ultimate finish. After the design is sanded, utilize a damp fabric to wipe down the design. Some modelers prefer to utilize a fine-mist squirt bottle filled with water to dampen the surfaces to be covered. As the surface dries, inserted wood fibers in the surface will “stand up.” When dry, sand the surfaces once again utilizing 320 or 400 grit paper. Raising the grain now and sanding it off will avoid the grain from raising later on under the covering, creating a bumpy finish. Vacuum the design completely and prevent touching the design with oily hands.Your design is now prepared for covering!



Trim Film to Size:

Start by covering the bottom of one wing half. Using scissors or sharp pastime knife, cut a piece of UltraCote® a couple of inches larger than had to cover the wing. Get rid of the support (conserve for later on) and position the covering with the adhesive (dull) side down, centered over the wing. Set the covering iron to the application temperature level of 220°F.


Pro Suggestion - If the iron you're utilizing does not display the actual temperature level, here is a tip that will guarantee your iron is properly set.Water boils at 212°F. Enable your iron to heat up at a medium setting. When the iron reaches its stabilized temperature level, thoroughly put a couple of drops of water on the iron's surface. Change the temperature level up until the water simply starts to boil off. This method is remarkably precise and is normally within 10° (of the exact application temperature level of 220).



Adding Covering to Spar:

Tack the covering to the spar or the peak of the wing, utilizing your iron as revealed (an iron sock is highly recommened). Carefully pull the covering toward the root and toward the idea, as you work the iron from the center of the spar to the root and idea of the wing. Press gently with the iron, enabling 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 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 leading edge as revealed, utilizing the iron at 220°F. If a wrinkle establishes, the covering can be thoroughly raised and reapplied.



Covering an Open-Structure Wing:

If covering an open-structure wing, work from the spar toward the trailing edge, gently moving the iron (set at 220°) toward the trailing edge with the iron getting in touch with 2 ribs. Using your iron, adhere the covering to the remaining ribs, pursuing the idea and the root. Now finish the open structure leading edge, utilizing the same method. If the leading edge is sheeted, then follow the method listed 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 pastime knife, thoroughly trim the excess covering from the leading and trailing edge, enabling 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 quantity of the curvature of the wing idea, high heat (approximately 350°F) might 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 idea while using heat with the iron. Remember, UltraCote® can be thoroughly raised and repositioned to help remove wrinkles. This function is advantageous, specifically when covering greatly curved wing ideas. Continue working, pulling, and heating the covering around the idea up until the covering is past the center of the idea. It might be necessary to increase the temperature level of the iron to achieve higher shrinking to remove all wrinkles. Trim the excess covering utilizing a #11 pastime knife, then reseal the covering on the wing idea.


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