covering with coverall
Todd, use .6 oz glass cloth, and the easy way to apply it to round areas like fuselages is to use nitrate dope. A couple of thin coats on the wood first, lightly sand, then lay the cloth on, and brush the dope on top of the cloth, which will penetrate through it. Let dry and clean off the flashing with sandpaper. Give it several more coats of nitrate dope, make sure you let it dry for 72 hours before any other paint, then shoot primer on it. Nice finish, light weight, and pretty hard to mess it up.
