HELP! Solartex

Postby Steve Mansell » March 18th, 2018, 12:05 pm

Help!
I need some "Linen" Solartex.
I have used 14 mtrs on 3 wing panels, but need about 3 more mtrs to do the 4th panel.

All the panels are stitched and taped so far, and I don't want to strip them all and start again.

I can travel within reason to collect. I'm based near Bromley, South East London/ North Kent.

Any large off-cuts or full rolls, but it is only "Linen" I need.

Folding beer tokens for whatever you have!
Hope someone can help,
Cheers
Steve

Cheers Dave,
They have most colours, but unfortunately they haven't got any "linen".
I have found a German seller, so I have ordered a 10 meter roll. As it's got to match I can't get away with using "natural" or "antique".

Next build I'll have to try an alternative, but it's a pity because I really like solartex.

I remember reading about the Germans experimenting with see through coverings in WW1, so I might nick the wife's clingfilm!

German supplier has just informed me they are out of stock as well!

I do hope someone has some in their coverings box!

Living in hope,
Steve

Mick Reeves sell “linen” for their WW1 models or they used to !!
I have a 10 metre roll in my workshop !! Which I got from them.
Try them and if they haven’t got it , get back to me.

Thanks Mike,
I've dropped Mick an email, and it looks like I'm sorted.

Cheers all,
Steve.
