Conclusion
All the aircraft fabric systems listed above will work to give you a
nice looking and safe aircraft if you follow their instructions and
use their system all the way through. When I’m asked which system
is the best, I can’t answer it directly. In our shop we normally
use Air- Tech™
because I have the most experience with it but we can, and do, use
and repair the other systems as needed or per customer requirements.
Asking which system is the best is like comparing the different
flavors of Ice Cream, each is good but they are all different.
Everyone’s taste is different. What works for me may not work for
you.
If you want a Wet Look finish then one of the Polyurethane finishes
would be best. If you want a more traditional matte or semi gloss
finish, then one of the dope or Poly Tone finishes would work. If
you are sensitized to solvents or odor is an issue then the Stewart
System™
is the one to look at. The bottom line is that they are all good
and they are all different. The choice is up to you.
