Description
J Perkins Red Nylon Covering (2.4 sq/m), part number 5524848, is a red nylon sheet for covering open-structured models and sheeted areas. It provides 2.4 square metres of material for model-making applications where covering strength and a defined finish are required.
Nylon covering shrinks when treated, allowing it to become taut across the structure and remain that way throughout the life of the model. This makes it suitable for open structures and sheeted areas, although care is needed during application. On lighter models, excessive tightening can cause structural deformation, so the material should be applied with controlled tension.
Features
The final tension can be managed by adjusting the dope used during application. Thinning the dope, or using a combination of non-shrinking and shrinking dope, can help reduce the risk of over-tightening while allowing the covering to settle across the model. The red sheet can also be used as a base for traditional dope finishes, depending on the intended appearance of the model.
Supplied as a sheet, this nylon covering is intended for model builders working on structures that require a covering material capable of shrinking to a taut state. Its stated area gives a clear indication of the amount supplied, while the nylon construction identifies the covering type.

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.

JP Red Nylon Covering (2.4 sq/m) Key Features:
- 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.
- Professional Aesthetic Versatility: Available in a range of colours, this covering provides a high-quality base that is highly receptive to traditional "dope" finishes for a classic, high-performance look.
