Hi all,

I have glassed a lot of planes with epoxy. The secret to cut down on weight is to thin out your 50/50 mixture with and equal part of Denatured Alcohol. This thins out the mixture to almost a water consistency. You will need two thin coats but will notice you use a lot less expoxy with an excellent result. Once sanded you prime and paint. Your weight will be cut in half in regard to the amount of finishing resin. Try it you will like it. It spreads easier and sands easier. At times have used one coat and let my primer fill in the weave of the 3/4 ounce cloth. Here is a photo of my latest glassed project.
