Default RE: fiberglassing??

What basics, there are a bunch of ways to glass. I started using 1/2 oz glass and two coats of sanding sealer. First thing is the sealer and sand then I use the glass and deft Sanding Lacquer, about three coats of the deft, sand then I mix a 50/50 blend of the deft and baby powder and coat and sand with that blend until all the weave is filled and the plane is smooth, about two coats, sometimes only one needed. Then I prime and paint. Very easy but the fumes of the deft require you to be in an open area. Other people like the water based poly-U and some use the finishing resin or epoxy. Lot of ways to do the same thing.
