Default What covering over foam?

I had thought about glassing this rebuild but I am tired of working on it and decieded to use something easier.What can I use to cover the Byron Pitts?With the foam structure I need something that is low temp but still looks good.I know I'm getting lazy,but in my condition that is just the way it is.

I believe that Tower Hobbies has a Towerkote that is low temp, I have used this over a foam wing with no laminating and it did not harm the foam.

Any idea how much heat is too much for the foam in a Byron model?

I have a Byron Staggerwing in the box. When I get to it, I plan to use polyurethane to put Koverall on the wings.
