I have been reading past posts and have a few questions pertaining to kit building.

I have read about people fiberglassing the firewall for reinforcement.
I have to guess that they are fiberglassing the back of the firewall to the sides and top of fuselage. Is this correct?
I'm also confused about how to use the fiberglass tape or mats.
I went to Tower Hobbies and they sell the fiberglass mats but they want you to buy some adhesive also to glue the the mat down before using the resin - I would have thought the resin would bond the fiberglass to the wood.

What is finishing resin and do you use the finishing resin with the fiberglass or use 30 min epoxy?

Should I use fiberglass tape on the center wing joint when building kits (40-60 sized)?
