As an 11-time award winner at Toledo and a nine-time award winner at the WRAM show, Faye Stilley has proven that iron-on covering can produce a finish that will put you in the winners' circle. He has never entered a contest without receiving an award!
Faye acquired his extraordinary skill using the "trial-and-error" method. This isn't surprising, because there are no schools for his craft - no "only way" to accomplish contest-winning results.
Although many people are willing to give advice, it's rare that anyone will explain exactly how and why he or she does things. Faye is an exception. You'll benefit from the many occasions he has had to tear off the covering and start again. In this book, he tells you how to get it right the first time. And he goes one step further by explaining the techniques he has developed to make an ordinary covering job into an award-winning showstopper.
All the covering techniques discussed in this book were developed using Super MonoKote, but you can use them to apply any of the many iron-on coverings on the market today. This book concentrates on how to achieve award-winning covering jobs - from preparing the surface properly through design and application of unique, unusual trim schemes. This hands-on guide to working with heat-shrink covering materials provides techniques that are all designed for one purpose - to add beauty to your airplane
