After watching the covering demonstration, this is an excellent follow up. Thanks!

Nice Mark. If I may add a comment about the question below about using Doculam only. I have done this several times, I have painted Doculam, but it tends to flake off fairly quickly. One thing I learned the hard way, Doculam is NOT waterproof. I covered the wings of a float plane with doculam, added some trim using monokote, but within a season or so, water came right through. Will get some tissue and try this method as well.

Thanks Mark. I have Mercury Galahad to cover the finish looks just right for a model of that age, not to mention the modeller ☺️

That sellotape use is brilliant. Exellent video. When doing woodwork projects I find water based polyurethane hopeless. I wondered if you could avoid one stage by spraying polyurethane rather than water. I fly free flight and use tissue over Mylar. A similar process. The Mylar is doped after shrinking and the tissue laid on wet, wrinkles brushed out with thinners. It works well on flat and undercamber Ed surfaces but convex wing tops are more difficult.

Hi, thanks for the comment, great appreciated. I like the initial water stage because it gives you unlimited time to position the tissue and get it just right, the water relaxing the tissue with time so its a better fit, if polyurethane is used in the initial stage you would not have this as it starts to dry quicker. I have experimented with just brushing on the polyurethane instead of spraying with water but it doesn't soak through the tissue as well. Never tried doping it on. Always good to try different techniques 😀

You mentioned you had a few bubbles and poked them out. Do you need to provide vent holes to prevent ballooning of the Doculam?

Yes, always worth putting in a vent hole or two! 😀

Thank you for sharing and making such a detailed instructional video. Ona a side note, I was wondering if using doculam as a cheap transparent alternative to oracover is feasible. Could you tell me if it is as durable without the tissue paper on top as oracover clear?

Thanks for the comment, it's appreciated. Yes it would be absolutely fine without the tissue, you can get various thicknesses, I used 38 micron, which would be fine for upto a 50-60" model I would think, and if for a larger model you could get thicker film
