What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

Status: offline 		Kevin, Thanks for your reply. I should have explaned. I wish to sheet a plug-in wing for a delta and the total area is in excess of 12 sq.feet. which this side of the pond =a Balsa Forest. As i have a good supply of glass cloth and epoxy I was wondering if anyone had devised a system of glueing skins to open framework.

Status: offline 		Can you fill in the voids (between the ribs) with a foam structure and then cover that with fiberglass?

I just don't think you'll get any strength from fiberglassing an open bay structure.

In any case, good luck,

Kevin
