Cabin Announcements Occasionally, airline attendants make an effort to make the in-flight
safety lecture" and their other announcements a bit more entertaining.
Here are some real examples that have been heard or reported:
And, after landing: "Thank you for flying Delta
Business Express. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much as
we enjoyed taking you for a ride."
POLY-TAK FABRIC
CEMENT
A high-strength, fast drying, one-part cement formulated especially to
attach fabric to airframes. It is FAA approved with the Poly-Fiber STC for
use in making a 2" overlap cement seam on the wing leading edge and a 1"
overlap cement seam on the balance of the aircraft, regardless of the wing
loading or maximum speed of the aircraft. No other aircraft fabric cement
has this approval. Also an excellent cement for cotton, linen, and glass
fiber, and will adhere to most surfaces for shear load bonding. Add MEK when
necessary to reduce viscosity due to solvent evaporation from an open
container. Refer to Poly-Fiber Manual (#PFM) for details on cementing seams. SHELF LIFE 2 years unopened in
protected storage under 100F. Not affected by freezing. Should be clear,
discard if yellowed.

POLY-BRUSH
A high-solids, one part, air drying adhesive coating formulated for the
first and second coats to penetrate and seal the fabric weave and attach all
polyester finishing tapes and reinforcing patches. It provides twice the
peel resistance as nitrate dope on polyester fabrics. Poly-Brush is thinned,
3 to 1. Red pigment is added to allow ease of visibility of treated areas.
Also available untinted for aircraft where inside of fabric will be seen
from the cabin area. Cannot be sanded. COVERAGE 150

POLY-TONE
FINISHES
A durable one part, air-drying, flexible coating available in over 100
popular aircraft colors. Poly-Tone is manufactured from the same generic
class of petrochemical feed stock as Poly-Tak, Poly-Brush and Poly-Spray,
and is considered to be the standard pigment finish for the Poly-Fiber
process. The thermo-expansion and elasticity are the same as all sub coats,
and there is no inter-coat adhesion problem if the surface is clean.
Poly-Tone is non-shrinking, non-bleeding, fire retardant, chemical
resistant, and is used on both metal and fabric. It air dries to a satin
gloss finish and can be polished to a high luster equal in appearance to any
cellulose dope, lacquer, or synthetic enamel finish. Adding Blush Retarder
will also improve the gloss. If not used immediately, invert can every 30
days to loosen pigment.
PAINT EQUIPMENT:
Any sprayer rated for lacquer and enamel. Clean up
with Poly-Fiber reducer or MEK. COLOR SEQUENCE: Light colors first, then dark. Pigments are
non-bleeding. DRY TIME: Dust free in 20 minutes. Allow 12 hours before taping. THINNING: Thin 4 to 1 in normal 65-75F weather, or RR8500 in warmer
weather, 85F and up.
Add Blush Retarder BR8600 as needed in hot humid
weather.
SHELF LIFE - 4 years unopened in protected storage. Avoid prolonged storage
above 100F. Not affected by freezing.
