Fabric related

 

I'm using stewarts for my fabric system and I'm having difficulty getting the fabric tight at the 90 degree junction of the vertical stabalizer to top fuselage. In the image, the area of concern is where the white tape is. Can anyone help me that has figured this out. Up till now, I can only get the fabric loosely installed making a visually and aerodynamically unfit finish. Thanks
 

Hi Greg,
??? I had a similar situation on a different plane. What I did was to stitch it at the base from the underside.? Don't know if that would work on a TW.

That makes sense tnx.?
 

So I think I figured out my issue and have it solid at this time! I'm double covering and stewarts has you use 3 to 1 glue water at this point to seal fabric. In this case I had to add undiluted glue at this point, giving a much solid bond that don't slip when shrinking. The bond w the diluted glue was not holding!?
