Cote on a flat piece of wood, sure, no problem. But it seems I will never mast the art of applying tight cote over a frame. My friend John doesn't appreciate just how wide the expanse is between our cote skill levels is, that makes me swoon at his work. I need to have him teach me. For now, after many tries to fix the cote on the top of the Cub, this is where I quit and know it will not get better.
Complex shapes like the smooth area at the front of the vertical fin. I can't master the "almost melt and stretch" technique required.
For me the issue is heat management. My Hangar 9 iron finally burned out and yesterday I got a digital one. This may help.
And see those little sets of 3m or so wrinkles on the horizontal stab. Have never managed to shrink them out.
This is a skill I will master someday.
That day is not today.
What I need is to go sailing.
