So now the entire fuse is glassed, and it's weigh-in time.

I am happy to report that the gain was only 3/4 ounce for all the glass cloth and polycrylic. I am a happy camper!
Next, we need to see how much the 3 coats of poly gain, and how much I loose by sanding. Then I wonder if primer is lighter than poly to fill the weave????
In other words, should I add more poly, or just do 3 or 4 coats of primer?

I think at least 2 coats of poly are necessary to cement the cloth, then primer is the best filler. What do you think?

PS - sorry for the crappy pix, you can't see that the scale sez 12 3/4
