I found a really nice set of video's (and they are ongoing so I'll add them as the author produces them), which covers (haha, that's funny) the installation of Oratex fabric. The authors name is Colby Osborn. He and his family are covering their Bearhawk Model Five and doing a pretty detailed video of it. Here are the first three of the series:

Re: Oratex Fabric Covering
Thanks John. I've seen that post too. I plan on using Oratex on my F5. I haven't decided on the colors or going full coverage or half. It's not cheap, but I've only heard from a few out of many hundreds that have used it that had difficulty with applying. I've watched several of the techs at Oratex putting it on, and they are fast. I'm sure I'll mess up a bit, but with practice it'll all be good.John Fisher wrote: ↑Sat Feb 25, 2023 9:40 pm This is the company website some good information on it.
