This article describes the packaging of the Princess flying boats for storage. A spray gun operating at low pressure is used to apply the fluid plastic, which emerges as a continuous filament and has the appearance of a cocoon as it forms and before it shrinks to form a smooth coating. The resulting coating is tough and ductile. A bitumen coat was then applied, to give added protection against moisture, and the area along the chine was reinforced with a band of hessian to safeguard the coating against abrasion during towing. Another bitumen coating of a different texture was then applied to the hull and upper surfaces. Finally, an aluminum coating was sprayed on to reduce the effects of heat radiation on the coating.
