Heat shrink covering

Postby Johnny ace » Fri Mar 03, 2023 6:31 pm

What is the best easy to find heat shrink covering available?I'm used to monocote for large r/ c planes,which is way too heavy for Guillow kits.I would prefer one with a fabric texture,since I'm going to make a Stearman.Thanks for any help.

Polyspan, it's about the same weight as silkspan with a coat of dope on it. Not my favorite covering material but some people swear by it.
