Hi Damo,

I'll take some photos of the fuselage I'm glassing so you can see how it goes. It's very simple. Seriously took me less than 5 minutes to lay down the first piece of glass and wet it out. Then I just let it cure. I could have sanded it about 6 hours later, but I work three 12's and on those days I don't get much done. So it's still waiting for me to sand off the excess, feather the edges and move to the next piece. I'll even show you what a mess I made and then you'll see how it looks after I clean it up. I was kind of rushing and the glass came out well where it's supposed to be but some drips stuck the glass down on the side where I don't want it and I have to sand it all off back to bare wood in those areas.

It sands well and easily so other than looking like I'm a slob, it's really not a problem. I just could have saved some time by blotting some of that up before I left it but I wasn't looking at anything but where the glass was supposed to be and didn't even notice that I'd dripped resin in other places until I looked at it again hours later.
