quick question, can I use ceconite to patch Grade A cotton? I have a few small holes under the wing I want to patch? Any advice would be great to hear, good or bad!
Can I just glue a patch with the correct overlap over the old dope and paint, then heat, silver then top coat? This 37 year old cotton was just putch tested to 56 lbs, but it would of passed at 46 lbs from the Book of standards.

Thanks
