.75oz cloth[:'(]
epoxy[:'(]

this is old age no need for heavy fiberglass. 0.56oz is plenty. As for the epoxy [:'(] did I mention [:'(] - too messy. One minor mistake and you sand for days. Brushing lacquer method - in case you don't like the smell get it water based. A few coats and you are done, no sanding in between. Most of the agent vaporizes and this coat does add hardly weight.

We had guys they building for over 25 years scale airplanes - ''NOTHING better then epoxy, best method'' what they said....

After showing them this method - guess?! What was for 25 years their favorite collects now dust on the shelf.

What is good for my Z P-38M 114'' is good for your .60 Jug!
I like this tip. I'm going to try it on the next one. Too late for the big Jug. It got 1/2 oz and Z-Poxy.
