Default RE: Weight Difference between Iron-on Covering and Fiberglass / Paint?

Steve H.,
Yes, it is less than monocoat at this stage without the pigmented paint. I don't have a figure for the paint yet, but I have been able to paint my models with only one coat of Klass Kote.

A long time ago an excellent C/L stunt flyer made this comment about finishing: "Your objective is not to fill in the low spots; each coat of dope brings out the high spots and you sand them off." NOt exactly applicable to a glass and epoxy finish, but that mind set seems to help keep the weight down.
