hi all

this is my first attempt at making a wing tube

8 coats of wax and 2 coats pva



first 3 layers of 4 oz tape





Not the neatest job but its learning curve





any advice on finshing

if dimensions are off 2 small, can i add layers once

if it too big i can sand down

time for a cuppa and wait till tacky 30 -40 mins

2 more layers and a finishing layer then sanding

thanks alan

epic failure not the best and totally the worst

start again if i can get it off the tube

going to try the link alan sent me

2nd attempt

had to cut the last one off with a Dremel lesson learnt

a slight mod

could not get hold of standard parchment had to go foil back with paper down

using pdf Alan supplied fingers cross

success
bit rough sanded and fit perfect after a bit of titivation

my thanks to a few persons for helping with advice especially Phil Clarke for pointing me in the right direction
