Boy that brings back memories from the 1980s. I remember the job that was feathering the fiberglass into the balsa. Thanks for the video!

Thanks Rick, the toilet paper method is brilliant. Have you ever tried a foam brush for spreading the epoxy?

[@rcflyingwithrick]

Hi Deano, Glad you mentioned foam brush, good question. I occasionally use them and they do work. However, not sure if it’s the quality of the foam brush I’m using but I find it leaves small bubbles on the surface. Also I find them a bit too soft. The brush I use (the disposal kind) I have better control spreading the epoxy and keeping the fiberglass cloth tight on the surface. cheers, Rick
