Default RE: Polyester Resin

Barry, thanks for your response and you're right!! I've never glassed wings before. I was considering the idea of adding the balsa rib at the wing root, but i'm afraid that the bond between the wing and the fuse might not come out as strong as gluing directly at the foam. Am I wrong? Also, when adding the leading and trailing edge balsa stock, I held them in place with pins. In other words, more areas for the polyester resin to get in to the foam. I'm sure I could seal them with some CA but I think it would be best for me to just use epoxy. I have some 30 minute epoxy on hand but it only gives me 10 mins of working time. I'm a go out and get something slower. BTW...when glassing wings, do I glass the ENTIRE WING (minus the foam root of course)? In other words, should I go over the trailing edge stock as well? Thanks
