Re: My recent fabric job

It appears to be a problem with the substrate/primer, not the top coat. Very typical (in automotive terms) of using a one-part primer overcoated with a two-pack top-coat, whereby a solvent gets underneath the top coat as it can do with porous fabric.

But I've not seen such an aggressive attack upon a fabric job, even a one-part process like Poly-Fiber, even with autogas.

Dare you mention what paint process you used?

I just finished fabric on this Aeronca and started to test the fuel system with the improvised 1 gallon tank.

Gas seeped out. Autogas- non alcohol.

Hmm, what a mess.

I am about ready to scrap the whole thing. :-(
