Albert Ace Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Bought a couple of rolls for the next model. Never used this before. There didn't appear to be a backing film on this. Looked on their website, no info on how to use it at all. Temperature of iron or any thing. Not used film much before. Any help please ?

Dickw Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 There is a "How to use" pdf document available to download on the 4 Max website just above the selection of colours. It refers to a backing film. https://www.4-max.co.uk/covering-film-solid.html Dick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murat Kece 1 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Hi Albert It has the backing. You can use a piece of a tape to peel it off the covering. I usually tack it at 120-125 oC and stretch it at 135 oC. It seems to work perfect for me. Try it on a spare balsa or a frame before you apply it on the model. Also do a search above on "Hobbyking Covering" there has been a lot of discussion on this before like: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 It's worth watching the Solarfilm video done by the inventor of Solarfilm. An hour well spent if you haven't done much with film covering. Solarfilm itself is discontinued in most colours but other makes use the same covering techniques. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
