Red face Searching your Memory banks on Silkaflex
I had a wonderful series of photos explaining the process for attaching a slider using Silkaflex. Copied it from someone's build site or maybe from a thread here. Didn't even need text they was so good. Step by step with excellent photos.
Thanks to ISO 7 and my frustration with it, the photos are gone. Does this ring a bell with anyone who also copied them or knows where I might re-discover them. I've been searching for days with no luck. Found some that were pretty good but no where near the quality of my original find. There's tons of info on Silkaflexing but this photo essay was a work of art.

I compiled a bunch of different Sikaflex stories into a Matronics Wiki entry quite a long time ago... Maybe that's the one you're looking for:

I did the Silka on my slider, deviated from the plans a little, but came out ok.

Bruce has a pretty nice write-up on how he tackled it.

This is one page of at least two on his site.

Thanks Joe , I'm finally getting the confidence to do this. Sort of like the fuel tanks. Really scary till your done and wondered what all the fuss was about.

Great photos Rob, thanks. I now have twice the photo collection I lost.
Don't know what I'd do without this site. Please stay healthy Doug.
