Default RE: Weights of different coverings

Well I am trying to use a bit different method that someone I know that does control line stunt uses. That is using carbon fiber veil over sheathing, the veil itself weighs .2 oz per yard the balsa I am using weighs very little. The more interesting part of this is the strength that it adds to the structure, while plastic coverings add nothing to the strength of the airframe.
Have any of you used this method?
