  Brent Carter can be contacted o for deliveries of Depron out of Orlando. 18x38" sizes. Dow 'BlueCor' or 'Fanfold' insulation is a bit heavier and is used by some people. You might also find Amocor P14 and Polypron products; I'm not sure if these are all identical but they may help you in different parts of the world. Try free flight, indoor, artists, crafts, flooring, insulation or builders suppliers near you for all these options. Also search the Ezone for
  more advice. Try styrofoam cups to make nice rounded sections.

Flite Hook can mail order fairly large sheets of Depron in the UK (600x800mm I believe) and can sell you double this size at the major shows. Here is their Email address and phone number 023 8086 1547.
'Foam board', 'Poster Board, or 'Sturdy Board' from artists/craft suppliers worldwide or Walmarts in the US is the next best thing if you can't find Depron. The inside seems to be the same stuff. Just soak off the carboard skin after cutting components to size.

  CREASES AND LUMPS
  Prior to applying the fiberglass cloth to the center section of the wing, take the time to iron it flat with your clothes iron.  Place the glass cloth or the center of the wing and tack it down to the surface with one drop of CyA (each corner, top and bottom). This may require that you may have to pull the cloth taught, but don't overdo it! Now you should have the cloth resting smoothly on the top of the wing. Now apply the resigns (or CyA) over the cloth. You may find that after 3/4 of the cloth is attached that you now have puckers along one edge or the other, but this is easy to fix.
  Lift the material where you tacked it to the wing, pull taught and tack it down again.

  NYLON STOCKINGS
  Women's nylon stockings are a cheap substitute for 1/2 ounce fiberglass and are especially handy in covering a wing. Simply slide the nylon over the wing, pull out the wrinkles and apply the resin.

  UNRAVELING FIX
  To keep fiberglass cloth or tape from unraveling and making all those nasty, loose threads, try spraying the part to be cut with spray hair set. It dries in seconds, does not get too stiff to work with and makes a nice clean edge. Hair Spray seems to be compatible with all adhesives and coatings.
