Default Which Covering Weighs Less??
I am building a TF P-40 and want to keep it light when covering and painting. Any idea which of these come out weighing less:

Silk with dope and paint (Silk is .47 oz per yard)
Sig Koverall and paint (1.25 oz. per yard)
Coverrite Fabric and paint (3.1 oz per yard)
Glass with Resign and paint (.75 or 1.25 oz per yard)

The weights I can find are without paint. Any idea how much paint the different coverings take to fill the weave and get coverage? It seems silk will be the lightest but Koverall may be close once all is applied? Any ideas?

Any other options I missed?
