Default RE: Glassing Techniques?

Just be sure it is polyester, trust me epoxy will not stick. If you get too much epoxy on it my be hard to pull free, as the thickness of the epoxy on top will make it stiff. I am frugal with the epoxy.................. The hardest part is getting it started to peel. Once it starts, it comes loose easier.

If you have any doubts, do a sample layup on a piece of junk lumber. Once you try it you wont go back to the toilet paper method.

Oh, wear rubber gloves when using epoxy of any brand. I work with epoxy every day and I go through 10 to 20 pair a day.

I used this method on my Ziroli Panther wings and tail surfaces. I added carbon fiber Vail under the 3/4 oz glass cloth, made the wings bullit proof!
