If you want to augment the adhesive, get some Loctite contact cement, nasty stuff as its got MEK in it then get a can of MEK, nasty stuff cause its MEK, thin the Loctite contact cement to a brushable liquid consistency with the MEK then brush it on surfaces to be covered. It will most certainly "augment" the Oracover adhesive. Use all the common sense precautions when using this method, cover the top/bottom in one piece, wrapping the Oracover around the trailing edge. Careful not to "glue" the Oracover together when shrinking in the thin TE area.

Subject: [RCSE] Re-covering an Organic


All,

I've decided to re-cover my 2M Organic with Hobby Lobby Poly Cover since they advertise it's the same as Oracover. I was wondering if the covering adhesive will stick to the composite frame. If not, what can be used to augment the adhesive and what is the process for using additional adhesive. I've covered about a dozen planes with Monokote and have had pretty good results. This is my first experience with "Oracover" and covering over Carbon/Kevlar.

Thank you for your help.

Mike
