Hi all,

Just finished getting the electric twins in fiberglass. I wasn't able to buy the old standby .55 oz cloth from CST (out of stock at the time) and went with the .7 oz cloth and WOW what a improvement in usability and fill-ability with the microballons. Mike also used the .7 cloth on the other two electrics. We both agree that the advantage will be less primer weight to fill the weave. It's also even easier to apply the microballons using the "rub" method. The reality is primer can add 4-5 oz and is where the big weight gain is, not the cloth and resin.

Between the rain, wind, cold and pollen I had a week of delays. But the twins are looking sweet. I still have to prep and finish the fiberglass but should have these two in primer by the end of the week.

I'll post some pics later....

cheers!

Dean
