Default RE: Beginner at fiberglassing.

Hey,

Just been looking at the following website:
http://www.airfieldmodels.com/inform..._finish/03.htm

At the bottom he recommends only doing one coat to tac down the fiberglass cloth. Then he stated not to do a second coat with resin, but instead, using primer to fill the weave. Has anyone done this because this is the first time i have heard this???
Also he recommends not using 1 hour epoxy because it will soak into the balsa to much. What about using a wood sealer before applying the fiberglass. I think this will help but will it reduce the bonding to the balsa???

Cheers
