Rodney uses Aluminum tape from Home Depot that is non-labeled on the outside surface.
Windex is used so that the tape can be pulled off without damaging the surface,
before it is pressed down. We did the test on our Ziroli T-6 Texan. were going to paint
the plane yellow with a red band around the fuselage. I was looking up some pictures and
ran across an old pic of me about to fly in a T-6 many years ago, the owner of the plane
allowed me to perform a couple of loops and rolls in the middle of practicing his routine.
I'll never forget that day as you can well imagine, right up there with flying the B-17.
I sent the pic to Rod, and he immediately started the process of covering the wing in aluminum!
Rod applies all the panel lines and rivet marks free hand for a stand off scale look, you can
measure and use straight edges if you like of course.
The tool Rod uses to make the rivet marks is a brass tube over a screw driver with a sharpened edge at the end of the tube.
