That makes sense. Do most hobby shops carry fiberglass strips? I know some came with the kit but I dont think it came with extra. Another thing about fiberglass. When I was reading the instructions on puting on the fiberglass Im a little confused about how much CA glue to use. It says to put CA drops in a line until the whole thing is covered. Is that thick or thin CA and do I smear it in after?
Edit, Thanks for the link Tim. That was just what I was looking for. I perfer to learn from others mistakes and not my own. (if only it were that simple)
It's thin CA and it should cover all the glass. Most people use 30 min. epoxy and spread it out with an old credit card, playing card or paint brush, It smells a lot better and doesn't cost as much as CA. I brush a thin coat on the wood first and stick the glass down then brush or spread on more epoxy over the top. Sort of feather the epoxy along the edge of the glass. Clean up using acetone or alcohol along the edges. Most hobby shops sell the glass by the Sq. Yd. and in different weights. There should be some glass left over from that strip they gave you for the wing center section. You can also buy glassing kits at the big hardware stores that has the resin/hardner and glass all in one, that works very well too.
