Default RE: Silk Covering Techniques

I have three planes to cover - two foam and the other a Mustang 450 electric conversion that has a balsa sheeted foam wing and balsa fuse. I want to use silk in place of 1/2 oz glass cloth to keep the planes light but strong. Has anyone used 5mm or similar silk with a low viscosity epoxy on foam or balsa sheeted planes? If not, does anyone have any ideas on what weight silk and supplies I should use?
