Default RE: Stabilizing thin wing sheeting - SSE

I have a question about the Balsarite. I know some people swear that it causes problems. However, when you rean the product discription, it seems like it does a lot of good things including fuel proofing and strengthening the wood itself. Is this a good product to use over most of the model to promote better adhesion, or should I only use it when absolutley neccesary (like over fiberglass)?
Plastic film covering usually sticks to bare balsa with no problems. I use balsarite only on glassed areas. Do not get the iron too hot it will bubble the resin.
