It is porous in the first place, and all you will do is damage the grain, thus weakening the material.Not once it's had a good slathering of BalsaLoc (other heat sensitive adhesives are available!).

Chris Dyer Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 Hi Guys,I am still looking to get this tool if it's the last thing I do, you know what's it's like when you have made your mind up you have to have one. The tool was used in a video (DVD) that I purchased off e-bay "PLANE COVERING TUTOR DVD". It showed 2 guy's covering a plane, wings, fuse, tail and rudder, being a bit of a covering novice this DVD has given me a first class lesson. The guy's were using MONOKOTE film and during the lesson the WOODPECKER TOOL was demonstrated, I am now sold on it, please somebody out there tell me where I can get one.
