How To Glass? Clueless...
 
I am planning to fiberglass some House of balsa 1/12 warbirds and don't have a clue how to do it. Could someone please outline the steps and give some tips?

1)what resin? poly or resin?
2)what cloth? Fiberglass or carbon Fiber?
3)Where do I start on the wing and fuselage? Top, bottom, sides?
4)Basically what is the procedure? Thanks, KT :D

Theres a thread in the kit building section somewhere, so that might be worth checking out.
Do a search on it would be the best way of finding it I would say.
