| In the "olden days"........When we used to have to "build" our wooden blades, they came with a vinyl type covering material (sticky on one side) and we "wrapped" the blades with this stuff after fitting and glueing in the lead tip weights.....
That's an option for you as I believe the material is still available..... One "brand name" was Fascal, as I recall....
Check with Rick's or Miniature Aircraft to see if they still carry it....
Some have used a similar vinyl material sold at your favorite home improvement store (Lowes, HomeDepot, Ace, etc.....) . It's used to line the shelves in your kitchen cabinets....
And others just remove the shrink wrap junk and spray their blades with polyurethane clear to protect them from the fuel residue/oil.
No matter what method you use, don't forget to re-balance the blades as the last step...... |
