Product Details
Description
ORATEX® Olive Drab (018) - 10-018-010
ORATEX®, an
iron-on type polyester fabric covering, is ideal for all scale models, large
scale models and historical models. NOT FOR GENERAL AVIATION!
ORATEX® has
5 points in its favour:
1. Easy
application: due to its pliability and a shrinkage of 15 % in both directions
ORATEX® is easy to apply round corners and edges. Creases can easily be removed
with a heat-gun.
2.
Excellent adhesion: the adhesive of ORATEX® is about twice as strong as that of
conventional fabric coverings.
3.
Remarkable toughness and stability of the fabric.
4.
Protective seal: the surface of ORATEX® has been treated to make it resistant
to fuel and oil. You can paint or varnish it if you wish, but there is no need
for it!
5. 14
attractive colours.
Tips for
using and applying Oratex:
Unstable
wood fibres can become insecure and can rip off due to the weight.
The
consequences would be wrinkling and in the worst case the complete peeling off
of the fabric.
For an
optimal pre-treatment of your wood surface we recommend to coat the surfaces to
be ironed with ORATEX® Iron-On adhesive. The ORATEX® Iron-On adhesive penetrates
the wood and sticks together the loose wood fibres of the heartwood. With that
you reach an excellent three-D adhesion of the ORATEX® fabric with the surface.
With the ORATEX® Iron-On adhesive you do not need a further pre-treatment of
the wood anymore.
Application
of the ORATEX® Iron-On adhesive:
1. Sand
your wood completely and remove the swarf (vacuum).
2. Stir up
well the contents of the tin.
3. Apply
the ORATEX® Iron-On adhesive 1 – 2 times thinly and evenly by using a brush.
4. Let the
adhesive dry overnight, however at least 10 hours. (Please do not resand).
5. Cover
your model as always with the thermal shrink fabric covering ORATEX®.
