Default Fiber Glass 101

I am going to be fiberglassing on several of my kits, and need good sound advise from all you fiberglassers out there.

1st of all, I will be fabricating from fiberglass, gear doors for my retracts. What I would like to know is what weight the glass cloth recomendations are and what resins to use.

2nd, I may glass the wings and fuselage for painting. What weight glass cloth recomendations are and what resins to use.

3rd, what tricks and what methods of application, including temperature, tools and do's & dont's are there.

Remeber I have not attempted this before.

Thanks in Advance
