ORIGINAL: Falcon0988 I plan on using Flitemetal to give it the same finish as Panchito. I was wondering, do I have to fiberglass before applying flite metal?
Yes, the surface should be prepared as if you were going to paint it to achieve the finish desired. Use .6 ounce to the sq yd glass cloth from Gator RC as it has equal thread diameter in both directions. Remember to use ZAP Finishing Resin cut 40% with alcohol to permit ease of application and fast laydown wicking. This is easy and quickly accomplished. Use a 3" wide foam paint roller from Walmart to apply the epoxy as it will distribute the resin evenly with even pressure across the entire surface.
I recommend you read our application instructions contained within the FliteMetal.com web site. That will further explain the application and finishing process. The B-25 has virtual flat surfaces because of the lack of compound curves and will therefore cover quickly. If you have more questions feel free to ask.
