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.

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.
