Originalpropellen klar for trekking
Nå er propellen fri for gammel duk, skader reparert og treverket pusset. Det betyr at den er klar for trekking. På slutten av arbeidet fant vi løsningen på hva som var brukt for å feste første laget med duk som satt så godt fast. Atter en gang hadde Andrea svaret. Det var brukt samme limet som var brukt til lamineringen, nemlig beinlim eller hornlim. Hadde vi brukt varmt vann, hadde vi trolig kunnet tørke duken bort. Hva er det den damen ikke vet?
Now the covering is removed from the propeller, the damage repaired and the wood sanded. This means it is ready for new covering. When the job was almost finished, we were told what was used to attach the first layer of cloth that stuck so well. Once again, Andrea had the answer. The same glue had been used that was used for the lamination, namely bone glue or horn glue. If we had used hot water, we would probably have been able to simply wipe the old cloth away. What doesn't that lady know?
