Default RE: To Fiberglass or not to Fiberglass?

Anyway I am interested in waterbased poly. I am assuming we are talking about water based polester resin? It sounds that this is probably the way for me to go with this plane as I can paint a whole heck of a lot better than wrap a present. The finish looks a whole lot more scale too. I am not trying to win any awards with the Top Flite Cessna, I just want it to turn some heads at the field. My club isn't real big into scale airplanes and I think this will turn some heads. So the steps that I am understanding to go with waterbased poly is to seal the wood, apply the fiberglass wet? on the airframe, let it dry and apply more to smooth it out?
