Ok, as Hank suggested, I'd like to open a thread on the Stewart Systems process and include some pictures/links and stories and comments.
Stewart Systems process is the only covering process as of now, that meets the very stringent FAR Part 23 standards.
From their website ( www.stewartsystems.aero )
"Solvent based products are facing scrutiny from the EPA and more regulations are predicted to come. We know there are health concerns using solvent based products. What if you could have an aircraft finishing product that provided excellent results AND was safe to use?
The wait is over: Learn more about Stewart Systems revolutionary products...
Available from Stewart Systems:
* FAR Part 23 and STC Approved and People-Safe Aircraft Fabric Covering process
* High Performance Catalyzed Waterborne Coatings for the Aerospace Industry
* EPA compliant, non-hazardous, and non-flammable, safe to use aircraft finishing products"
I've been using this system since the late '90's, before it became "Stewart Systems" and have had great luck with it. The system is easy to use, but different in a few ways from the more traditional solvent borne/based systems. I must admit, after years of using "traditional" paints and glues, I had some "unlearning" to do...but every time I thought there was a problem, I could trace it back to ME, and all I had to do was follow the directions to the letter and it worked the way it was supposed to. The glue used is much stronger than anything out there, but is a bit slower drying, so you need to be able to plan and work ahead of yourself just a bit, but it's also very forgiving. All the products have a light pleasant smell to them, so at the end of the day, you can still go out to dinner and taste that steak in all it's glory, and come in the house without the rest of the household being able to tell just what you've been doing! The main thing that attracted me to this system to start with was the health aspects, and I'll get into them at a later date. It's no where near as dangerous as the solvent borne systems to you or your loved ones, pets, or passers-by. It ships non-hazmat, and can even be overnight shipped.
Check out their website www.stewartsystems.aero and if you have questions, they are second to none in the customer service department!
