REFLECTOR: Triax flange for doors

[Andy Millin]

Reiff,

 

1.        There is no faster way than following the manual.  Really.  We all
like to teach ourselves this lesson; over and over and over...  :)

2.       Do you have a good set of rollers for working out the bubbles in
the cloth?  http://www.bodico.com/  I found them invaluable.  You'll hear
the bubbles pop like rice crispies.  I have a variety.  Straight, Convex,
and corner.  Make sure you clean them well after each use.  I bought the
nylon versions.  They were safe to clean with Acetone.

Subject: REFLECTOR: Triax flange for doors

 

 

I've just started building an XL RG. The doors fit pretty well, and I've
glued the cutouts back in temporarily. My next step is building the flange
around the inside of the door cutout with 2 plies of triax.

 

I'm planning on just following the directions in the manual unless someone
tells me there's an easier / better / faster way. Any words of wisdom?
