A good friend of mine used - Envirotex - to finish his scale warbirds. The first coat he mixed the two parts in equal amounts as directed then added an equal amount of denatured alcohol. It was the consistency of water and applied over 3/4oz fiberglass. After the first coat cured, he went over with a second coat, but this time only used 50% ratio of the denatured alcohol. There was hardly any sanding because the stuff is "self leveling" and it was tuff and easy to paint.

I'm playing with a new foam cutter and I will soon try his method on some sheeted wings. He did a Mesquito and a TBM Avenger that was quite impressive in the finish. I was surprised when he told me what he used.
