Hi Folks,
Many thanks to all those who replied.
Before deciding on manufacturer I have to decide on which material,
due to my use of Polyfibre products.
Is there anyone out there who used Polyfibre filler and/or primer and
then kept their aircraft outside under covers, who didn't have
bubbles appear in the paintwork?. If so, were the covers breathable
or not?.
Do people who know about Polyfibre think that there are still
potential problems in store with a finish completed 8 years ago?
Do people think you get condensation under fully waterproof covers?
Looking forward to many erudite replies,
All the best, paddy
