I'm not normally a fan of backing tracks but in this case I'll make an exception... That is a mighty fine piece of music & I might even scour iTunes to try and find it
Jeffrey Moore Initially the backing track was a song called 1988 by Mount Cyanide and I did end up getting it off iTunes ..this is a completely different track again
yessiree...thats how you do it. I prefer using a brush first but it don't matter. you probably should have shown them how to use automobile resin. Its readily available and less expensive. Maybe i will post a few videos on working with fiberglass.
I found if you mix 100% denatured alcohol with 45 min epoxy you will never get one wrinkle and it's smooth as glass with very little sanding. I do the same when bonding carbon fiber to balsa and it's super strong with zero flex. Great Stuff
+Scott Shea 1-1 Ratio or till you can just use a paint brush like you're staining it. As the alcohol will evaporate which makes it lighter. As you use less epoxy and it soaks into the balsa better for a higher bond. I do the same thing when fuel proofing the areas that need it. It makes for a better looking finish.
Thank you! I just bought an old Hobby Shack "Spirit of 76" and I was planning to glass it, but I have have no experience with this in the past, hence turning to youtube and other forums. Thank you, I'll try this method with that project!
I see so many vids like this with folks barely getting the cloth moist. This is not a good idea. All that dabbing runs the risk of misaligning fibers and ending up with resin/epoxy starved areas. A better way is to get some resin on there and spread it around. Use a squeegy to remove excess. This ensures proper wet out. It's like painting a wall in your home with a dry roller. Get some paint on the wall already! hahahaha
I have to agree with you, plus he is using 20 min resin, which by the end it will be very dense and difficult to spread. I prefer to pour the resin there, squegee the crap off of it, and the pad it dry with paper towel to soak out excess resin.
***** question re glassing technique, on the last resin pass, should you have a glassy finish or still feel/see the weave as you pull the spreader over it?
Ive always wondered how they did it. That was an excellent vid. Thanks so much for the info. Very well done!
RCcanuck
I like the tape idea
OK now I am going to paint my walls. Thanks for your advice, very clever...
I was totally convinced I was going to see a vacuum bag been used!!! Nice jog do
Ahhh the good old day when you could by a quality balsa built kit with sheeted wings from Great Planes for a reasonable price and do your own finish.

cyclistpilot good luck; it's quite obscure.

where do you buy the fiberglass cloth of that thickness, is that .75 oz?and do you dilute the mix with alcohol or acetone? thanks for the video.
ευχαριστώ κώστα για το κατατοπιστικότατο.!!!!! βίντεο.έχεις δημοσιεύσει άλλα?
Thanks for sharing, , think I be fibre glassing my top flite P51
Hey body how do you make the wing is that foam or is a mold
Good video. What are the advantages of this procedure? What is the cost of the glass fiber you use? I'll be glad if you can reply.
If he talked you would know

Robert Spencer auto resin will melt the foam core you have to use epoxy
very usefull!! thank you man!!
τι νουμερο υφασμα εβαλες?
το 24gr κανει για απλη επικαλυψη,με σκοπο να βαφτει ?
Good vid. Cheers.
if i make a polyester foam car wing and cover it with fiberglass like this, will it be stiff enough ? do i need to add wood or some reinforcement?
I think it will not be enough
what happened to the 1988 song from mt cyanide?

Great Stuff
Great to know. What ratio of alcohol to the epoxy mixture do you use?
+Scott Shea

Please, I want the name of the substance that he uses in the wing of the plane
Its 20 minute epoxy finishing resin
Another good video ruined by stupid background music !

I came for the tutorial, but stayed for Eine Kleine Nachtmusik.
where's the "how to" part?
everything is in the video, just watch it...
Aweful music, geez
Suppose the guy who made this video spoke in Russian....
Gee I hate video's with no talking and god awful music.
You were given a mouth use it.
How's your greek comprehension?
