• 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.

The latest revision of the Stewarts manual says to paint thinned Stewarts glue on the entire surface of the fabric as the initial sealer. Of course I read this after painting my rudder with Ekoflll.

Has anyone here done this yet? Why the change? One thought I have is that the glue remains tacky indefinitely. That means the inside of my fuselage will be tacky and full of trash. This would look like hell.

Any thoughts?
