The covering process has begun, and is going well. This Solartex is another product from the Solarfilm company and is produced in England. I bought the 5 yard roll of "Olive Drab" and after using enough to cover the tail feathers I still had nearly five yards left, so they are generous with their roll sizing. This stuff is simple great to work with, tough as nails, yet easy to apply, shrinks with a moderate heat, and looks great.
The pictures here show three steps...cut the material to approximate size,...tack it on all sides,.....shrink it tight and open the window areas.
I took a sample to the paint store where they mixed me a litre of mat finish Olive Drab that is very close, if not bang on, to the Solartex colour. So if anyone needs some Olive Drab acrylic paint , let me know..!
