Default Fiberglassing the airplane questions.

Hello,
I’m planning to build a TF GE P-47 Thunderbolt 60 size kit this winter and I would like to fiberglass it.
I read the airfield models tutorial but I have several questions and I need more tutorials about this subject.

1. As I understand you cover bottom wing then top wing, how do you deal with the seam on the LE?

2. If you need to use more than one piece of cloth per surface how do you do it seam wise?

3. epoxy doesn’t like to be applied on existing epoxy, so if you need to fiberglass the wing center with 4” heavy weave tape and fiberglass the whole wing with 0.75 cloth what comes first and how?

4. what paint do you use to paint on fiberglass that withstand glow fuel?

Thanks
Alex
