First Report on Progress in the Study of Organic Protective Finishes for Plywood Airplanes and Gliders

Abstract

This is the initial report of a contemplated exhaustive study of finishing systems for plywood aircraft. Plywood panels, coated with products of five reputable manufacturers have been subjected to test. On the basis of results obtained, certain changes in the finishing systems appear desirable. These are as follows: 1. Omission of the primer surfacer coat. 2. Application of filler as the initial coat. 3 Use of at least two sealer coats for added protection and smoothness.
