RE: Fireproofing the fuselage?

If you go with epoxy it usually only takes a few drops of alcohol to thin it.
Epoxy brushes, same as flux brushes used by plumbers, cost a lot
http://www3.omnimodels.com/cgi-bin/w...I=GPMR8060&P=7 are 30 cents each
http://www3.omnimodels.com/cgi-bin/w...I=GPMR8062&P=7 are 15 cents each
I bought a bucket of cheap paint brushes at a Hobby Lobby store that work well for this stuff. They were on the children’s art aisle and cost was 4 dollars for 144 brushes. This was a couple of years ago so they may or may not still be available.

If you want color on the wood, Top Flite LustreKote seems to be pretty fuel proof.
