Hello Fabric covering gurus. I'm about to cover the fuselage and wondering if I should precoat the aluminum turtledeck with polybrush before I glue the fabric along the top edge. I am using heavy fabric. I know Neil had a problem with the fabric adhereing at the rear end where it needs to come away to make a neat transition to the fin and he presented a solution in the newsletters. Any ideas? Thanks Trev.
