Chris: Ceconite is a long time favorite of tube and fabric builders. I used it many years ago to recover my J-3. It does not have the strength that glass cloth with resin has. I would not use it. I remember using glue to fasten it to the tubing and then ironing it to shrink it to fit. Then the weave was filled, first with seven coats of silver nitrate dope for UV protection, then seven coats of clear nitrate dope. Until dry the nitrate dope is VERY explosive. Then the fabric is ready for final paint.
There are materials available today that are far superior. Hope this helps. Bob Lasecki Chicago KR-2S builder
