I am surfing (researching?) and looking at the various suggestions and
insistances for the hinge material for a Gyroc clone, one thing I came
across for airplane hinge material was using silicone as the adhesive
force and the flexibility allows the hinge action. Has anyone tried
this? The cool part is silicone is virtually indestructable, and would
serve the dual purpose of hinge material and elastic thread
replacement. Applying the silicone to the two pieces while they are set
in the canted or released position would cause the silicone to act as
the hinge and the rubber band, if you will. Silicone has the
characteristic of returning to its 'neutral' position after flexing.
The concern I have is, would it rip or tear? Also what about taking paint?
