Anybody tried to use painted airtight windowscreen(fiberglass or nylon?)as a flat surface covering material?
I have looked at (via google) various aircraft covering materials(some brandname)and am not impressed with their costs, their "painting" requirements (labor+++), their mechanical toughness or their local availability.
After installation probably two coats of paint would provide an airtight surface
OR
the window screen could be painted on a flat polyethylene surface, let dry and then installed.
Since the screen is so thin, two layers (one grid oriented 45 degrees to the other) would provide a very strong and tough surface.
Any opinions? TIA.
