• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

I'm having a go at covering for the first time. The part is an aluminium aileron - alodined skin leading edge. As the manual states - I applied thinned randoproof and when dry new super seam, working it into the fabric (101) along a section of the leading edge.
However I noticed it very difficult to get the fabric to want to stick down and once dry it peeled off very easily, some glue ( or randoproof ) remained on the skin and I was able to peel it off in sheets. Any ideas what's wrong ?
