Beautiful work crankpin. I have heard of people Monokoting glass fuses before, but never tried it personally. I have used both Balsarite and clear dope in the past prior to Monokote and it does help with the finish hardness and covering adhesion. I wish the ARF manufacturers would do something similar.
Where do you buy 3/4 oz glass cloth and finishing resin nowadays? I don't see it advertised.
I did find two good sources for dope. Brodak
www.brodak.com and Aircraft Spruce and Specialty

Unlike the hobby shop dopes, Randolph dope is so thick that you must thin it almost 50% to spray, so a quart ends up being about 1/2 gal.
I'm going to check with some local auto paint suppliers today, and see what I can find out.
