I agree with that Ken. I was originally thinking about applying the glass cloth with Klass Kote clear. The plan was going to be mixing it up in my usual manner which is one part clear, one part catalyst, wait 1/2 hour and then add one part reducer and then load it up in the gun. I was going to spray a small area and squeegee the cloth out and repeat as nesessary. When dry I could sand smooth with 320 grit and then apply another application of clear to fill the grain. That however is going to add another 60.00 to the airplane so I may just use thinned epoxy resin.

The other thing to consider is the quality of cloth. Just because it was super cheap I once ordered some .5 oz cloth from Hobby King. The weave was so bad that I immediately tossed it in the garbage. There were 1/16" gaps in the weave. Think of how much resin or primer it was going to take to fill the weave. Sometimes the end result does justify the additional cost of quality materials. I consider myself fairly talented when it comes to building on a budget and still get good results but sometimes you just have to start off with top shelf supplies. A couple good examples of saving money on this project. The foam for my cores came from Home Depot. For a 4'x8' sheet it runs 22.00. So the wing cores and stab cores cost me 22.00 plus 3 hours labor. Most of the wood for the fuselage plug came from Michaels craft store after I got a 20% off entire purchase coupon. I tend to pick up materials when I find a good deal even if I don't need then at that exact time. That was the case with the balsa being used to sheet the wings and stabs. It was purchased a good 4 months ago and placed on a shelf until needed.
