Poly-Fiber Couture


Let the nip & tuck begin. Tom stands ready to fill our workspace with toxic glue fumes as the Poly-Fiber is secured. It was a painstaking task for Tom as he secured the sleeve with clothespins, trimmed excess fabric, then glued the fitted and aligned covering to the frame. Nick worked alongside, enduring Tom's jokes about Aviation Inspectors ("AIs").





AI wisdom...or a discussion regarding lunch?
Beautiful, isn't it?
Tom looks so happy and serene here...could be the glue fumes.

Thanks for your comment. We figured anyone who stumbled across our blog was a fellow vintage aircraft buff, so we hope you've enjoyed our tales of triumph along with the woe. I'll pass along any questions you may have for Nick and Tom; maybe, just maybe they'll figure out an answer! Keep flying! Regards,
Kate
