custom-fit presewn fabric envelope is slid into position over a fuselage for the envelope method of fabric covering. Other than fitting, most steps in the covering process are the same as with the blanket covering method. Many ... substances used in most re-covering processes are highly toxic. Proper protection must be used to avoid serious short- and long-term adverse health effects. Eye protection, a proper respirator, and skin protection are vital. As mentioned in the beginning…

Figure 3-14. Rotating stands and sawhorses facilitate easy access to top and bottom surfaces during the fabric covering process. Figure 3-15. Some components of a work area for covering an aircraft with fabric. To obtain a smooth finish ... fabric-covered leading edges of aluminum wings, a sheet of felt or polyester padding may be applied before the fabric is installed. This should only be done with the material specified in the STC under which the technician is working…
