I've never used the West Systems for epoxying Cliff. I like using Z-poxy for the same reasons that you have mentioned. When I did my research (and testing) on different ways to lay down glass I was amazed to find so much diversity on techniques and product usage. I was looking for a method that I could easily replicate without creating a lot of odor and without adding too much weight while still providing good strength. The strength of this model doesn't come from the glass but rather the way the model was constructed. I glass mainly to provide a base on which I can apply paint and have it provide a reasonable amount of protection from hangar rash and dings. I find your method of filling the weave with auto-body primer filler thinned out and applied with a brush interesting and a method that I think I might like to try! I use the 3M Glazing compound as well, I really like it. Thanks for sharing...
