Fortunately, I have not finished building the plan and it is still uncovered w/no electronics.

Referring you your advice about the fiberglass cloth, I installed fiberglass cloth in accordance with the instructions. I wonder if this is why he feels it will be sufficient. However, at no point was 30 minute epoxy used.

The think that gets me is that the individual who made the recommendation has built many plains, is well respected and actually has designed and mass produced his own planes.

Thanks for the advice Chrashem, I think as a precaution I will follow it.
