• 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.

OK, so looky here, besides my Pitts project I am also covering a wild-ass hell bent for leather Milicoupe - like the one Bud Dake had a few years back. The owner wants me to double cover it. So, in all the aeroplanes I have covered over the last 45 years I have never done this particular process. Here is my question:

At the point where I would normally do the first brush coat of poly-brush... I was told at OSH this year to thin poly-tack and brush that in instead... man, that just don't sound right. What do you guys think? Anybody actually done the double cover process?
