Description
J Perkins Khaki Nylon Covering (2.4m x 2.4m), part number 5524840, is a nylon model-covering sheet for open-structure models and sheeted areas. The material is supplied as a 2.4m x 2.4m sheet, giving 2.4 square metres of covering for model aircraft projects.
Nylon covering can be applied where structural strength and a taut finished surface are required. When treated correctly, the material shrinks to a tightly tensioned state and remains taut throughout the life of the model. This makes it suitable for covering open structures as well as sheeted areas that require a consistent surface.
Care is needed during application because excessive tightening can deform the structure of lighter models. Tension can be moderated by thinning the dope or by using a combination of non-shrinking and shrinking dope. This allows the modeller to manage the final tension while applying the covering to the model.
The khaki sheet can be used with traditional dope-finishing methods. Its nylon construction, sheet profile and stated coverage make it a practical covering material for model-building and restoration work where a taut surface is required.

Specifications
JP Nylon Covering 2.4 sq/m
Nylon is suitable for open structured models and sheeted areas where strength and the very best finish is required. There is little argument that the extra time required to apply nylon is well worth while for the discerning modeller. Nylon will shrink to a very taut state and stay this way for the life of a model. In fact care needs to be taken to ensure that it does not over tighten and cause structural deformation on lighter models. Thinning the dope or using a combination of non shrinking and shrinking dope will alleviate this.

- Exceptional Structural Strength: Sourced for its superior durability, this premium nylon is the definitive choice for open-structured models and sheeted areas where maximum reinforcement is required.
- Permanent Taut Finish: Unlike inferior materials, this nylon is specialised to shrink to a drum-tight state and remain perfectly tensioned for the entire life of the model, preventing sagging over time.
- Generous Surface Coverage: Supplied in large 2.4 sq/m sections, providing ample material to cover significant wing spans or complex fuselage geometries in a single, seamless application.
