small shoe sealing iron

[Steve Mansell]

does anyone know where I can get a trim sealing iron in UK. My present build has under-cambered wings, and an iron with a small shoe would make it easier to adhere the 'tex to the bottom of the ribs without shrinking the panels between.
A search on the net gave one result from the US, at £84 plus shipping!

Cheers
Steve

May I also suggest coating the underside of the ribs with watered down PVA, or balsaloc— same thing

[Steve Mansell]

cheers Alan, I've got some balsaloc. The scale stuff has pushed the weight up so much I might just nail the covering on!

Had one of these for a few years....V useful, especially for finer details like rib tapes and getting into tricky corners etc.....

Highly recommended.
