Oracover 2m ORALIGHT Transparent Blue-White (60cm width)

Achieve maximum weight savings without sacrificing style with Oralight Transparent Blue-White (2m x 60cm). Specifically engineered for lightweight park flyers, gliders, and indoor models, Oralight is the "featherweight" version of the classic Oracover film. Weighing in at only 36g/m² (including adhesive), this transparent film allows you to showcase the intricate structural beauty of your balsa framework while providing a vibrant, light-filtering aesthetic in the air.

Key Features:

• Ultra-Lightweight Performance: Designed to minimize "tail-heaviness" in delicate builds, offering significant weight reduction compared to standard polyester films.
• Transparent Brilliance: The Blue-White hue provides a crystal-clear, high-gloss finish that glows when backlit by the sun, improving orientation and visibility during flight.
• High Tensile Strength: Despite its thin profile, the polyester base provides excellent structural rigidity and puncture resistance for open-frame wings and fuselages.
• Low-Heat Sensitivity: Features a specialized adhesive that activates at lower temperatures, making it safe for use on delicate balsa ribs and thin veneers.
• Vibration Resistant: Maintains its tension perfectly over time, resisting the "flutter" often associated with inferior lightweight coverings.

Comparison: Oralight vs. Standard Oracover

Application Tip:

Because Oralight is thinner than standard film, it is highly sensitive to iron temperature. Start at a lower setting (approx. 90°C) for tacking the edges. When shrinking, move the iron or heat gun constantly to prevent "holing" the film. The transparent nature means every detail of your balsa prep will show—so ensure your framework is perfectly sanded and dust-free for a museum-quality finish.
