INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERSNote: Solite and Nelson "flats" shipped overseas will be lightly folded in order to get under the 24" package length limit to allow USPS First Class International which is much cheaper. Typical postage (two rolls or flats) is about $7-$9 this way. If package is over 24" shipping will be $17 to $24. If you order rolls we are happy to remove covering from roll and send to you lightly folded to reduce your shipping costs. PLEASE give us permission in your order notes to do so. If you say nothing we will leave on roll and ship by the more expensive Priority Mail International which allows packages over 2".

HINT, If you use dryer sheets for your laundry, then take a large bath towel and lay it on top of your work space. As you handle the Solar Film and your air frame on this surface, much of the static will be drawn out of the film and into the towel! On large pieces, to reduce static charge and prevent the material from sticking to itself, it is also helpful to remove the backing a little at a time as you iron down the film. Creases or wrinkles smooth out during application. This material is really very easy to work with once you understand how to cage the (static) demon!
Aluclad is a self adhesive bright finish aluminium foil specifically suited to covering model aircraft. A one step, fuel proof finish. Use on scale models. 0.003" thick. Weight = 133 grams/square meter. Malleable enough to be burnished around curves/corners. You built that scale model to look real, why not cover it with real aluminium! 1000mm x 640mm roll.
Great material to keep around for making aluminum look firewalls, hatches, dash panels, cowling finishes and many other uses. That little extra touch that gives your wormanship snap or eliminates the unfinished look of many ARF's.

An old favourite for Free Filght and Control Line models. Can be applied wet (white only 24" x 36" sheets). Can also be apply to models dry with dope wetting through the fabric. Excellent way to toughness and great strength to a balsa surface with the minimum of weight. Produces surface that is tough, easy to paint and easy to apply iron on covering films. Much easier than fiberglass with much of the qualities of a fiberglass job and none of the weight. I've not tried applying with water based polyurethanes as is popular today on foam but feel it would be a good cantidate for that method as well.
Our Rod-Stock policy applies to this material. Minimum of 6 long skinny things per order. You can mix and match any "Rod Stock" items you want to satisfy the 6 peice minimum. Look at Music Wire, Carbon Rod, Pushrods and such for other items you may need. We will roll your sheets and ship them in a tube or triangle. If you order 1 roll of So-Lite covering, no minimum applies as SILKSPAN can be put inside or on the tube of that product for safe packaging.

Koverall is a cloth covering of the type used on full-scale aircraft, but in a lighter weight (1-1/4 oz. per sq. yd.) for models. Koverall can be used on almost all R/C models large or small. Its superior strength and low price has made Koverall a real favorite with builders of giant size models. It's the most economical cloth covering you can buy! SIG Koverall is an uncoated, heat shrinkable plain fabric. It has no glue on it. To adhere Koverall to a model, you can either dope it on ala the traditional silk-and-dope method, or better yet, use SIG Stix-It heat activated covering adhesive (see below). Just brush a coat of Stix-It on the model framework, let it dry, then iron-on the Koverall just like you would a much more expensive iron-on fabric covering. Once the Koverall is stuck down around the edges, it can be shrunk perfectly tight with an iron or heat gun. Seal the Koverall with 1 - 2 coats of Sig Nitrate Clear Dope and then apply the finish of your choice.

Stix-It is the perfect companion for any model airplane covering material. It has a super strong heat-activated adhesive built right in that keeps your covering material stuck down tight.
Stix-It works great for adhering SIG Koverall, silk, silkspan, tissue, or any other uncoated covering material to a model. Its high solid content and adhesion qualities make it a breeze to cover models with these economical coverings. Stix-It eliminates the messy part of the traditional process. No more need to dope through the covering and rub it down with your fingers. Simply brush a coat of Stix-It on the wood, let it dry, then iron on your covering material.
Stix-It also works great as a surface preparation and wood sealer for any of the pre-finished iron-on coverings, either plastic film or fabric type. The superior adhesion of Stix-It helps eliminate the troublesome pull-ups and lifting seams common with those coverings. It also reduces fuel seepage under the seams of the covering.
