I guess this post might go along with the one on Glassing Techniques.

I have a new fuselage - part of it is solid, part of it is open framework. I'd like to go over the entire framework with silkspan, then paint it with Lustrecote, to match the Monokote wings.

Has anybody ever done this?

I'm not sure what techniques I should use to fill and seal the silkspan, but whatever I use would have to be compatible with Monokote.

I'd use glass and/or silk but am afraid of the weight buildup once I get through filling, etc.

I'm just looking for an alternative type of finish, just to try something different.

Thanks,

Bob
