Default RE: Fiberglassing - help

ORIGINAL: OldScaleGuy

...... Personally i would use polyester cloth and Minwax Polyc. I have done some testing over the past week or so and find the results exceptionally good. If that is not what you are looking for, I have used 3/4 ounce fiberglass cloth with Zap or West Systems epoxy resin......
I have used the minwax poly but didnt' think it would hold up strength wise. With the Zap or West systems expoxy resin.. are they one part or pre-mixed? Is there any sort of minimal sealing of the balsa that should be done prior to applying minwax or the resin so the balsa doesnt drink it up? This is what Im looking to glass over when it's complete
