Hey Guys, just a note to reinforce that you must seal the wood before using MinnWax. Last summer I was glassing an Enforcer and was working on the huge sheet fins. Without thinking or reading any instructions I proceded to apply the cloth using a thin coat of minn wax. Left to dry overnite, guess what I saw the next morning. What the hel -----l happened here???? Warped like you wouldn't believe. I knew the minn wax was water based but just didn't think. Thats what I get for going off half cocked. Anyway, seal everything first and minn wax will work fine............sugarfox
How interesting! I guess the body is rigid enough to not be a problem. I'll take your advice and put a coat of clear dope on the control surfaces. Can't hurt.
