“SG‑38 Boot Ply Skinning — Iron‑On PVA Sheeting for Clean, Clamp‑Free Results!”

It’s time to add the ply skin to the SG‑38 “Boot” enclosed cockpit — but before it goes on, there’s an omission on the plans that needs sorting. And when you’re sheeting with ply, clamping can be awkward, pressure points can bruise the wood, and pin holes are the last thing you want on a visible surface.In this video, I demonstrate a clean, reliable ply‑sheeting technique using PVA glue and a covering iron. This method gives you a strong, neat bond without clamps, without pins, and without damaging the skin. It’s also a brilliant approach for wing sheeting and other areas where traditional clamping is difficult.
