 |
|
Brian,
My understanding of this technique is that it involves lengths of
monofilament line which are draped chordwise over the wing (perhaps
weighted); filler is then applied in chordwise strokes w/ a squeegee.
The fishing lines act as thickness control screeds and are removed at
sometime prior to final cure of the filler.
I have no experience w/ this technique and doubtless others will
hopefully chime in.

You are right about the fishing line technique but there is no need to fill the gaps left by the fishing lines.
As soon as the filler is applied satisfactorily remove the lines and warm with a hot air gun. This thins the filler mix enough to flow into the gaps.
Dont overdo the heating though because the air in the filler mix expands and causes pinholes.
BTW are there any classic Europas left (ie: wings still under construction) ?
Yes thats how we did ours !!!
