Cozy1200 Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Help, I've been using plastic to cover my workpieces before weighing them down. The problem is small air pockets are trapping under the plastic and making marks on the part. I thought, sure I go buy some butcher paper. WRONG. Butchers don't use butcher paper here, they put the meat in plastic. Australians call plain newsprint butcher paper, but it doesn't have any coating. Then I thought, I'll revert back to wax paper. Wrong again. I can't track down Wax paper in large enough rolls to make it cost feasable. SUGGESTIONS???

Cozy Girrrl Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 STAY AWAY FROM WAX PAPER, please? There is stuff on a roll that is white paper and it is plasticized on one side, today that is consdered to be butcher papaer because it is a safe barrier. They are all gong to trap air. You work the air out as you go along, sort of like applying a huge decal. Work from one end to the other or from the center out. Also make sure whatever you are putting down is not being stretched otherwise it will pucker later.

macleodm3 Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Yeah, and you just sand out the marks. I ended up with a lot of marks on the inside of the fuselage sides from bubbles in the peel ply. But it all sands out just fine.
