- I am expecting my foam cores from Wing Mfg to show up most any moment. These
- cores will form the wing for my Jensen Stick. Having never worked with foam
- before I am curious what folks use to cover them. I have considered the
- following options:
-
- 1) Completely sheeting them with 1/16" balsa and the using Monokote.
- 2) Completely sheeting them with 1/16" balsa and then glassing and
- painting.
- 3) Using leading and trailing edge 1/16" balsa sheeting with cap
- strips and then covering with Monokote.
- 4) Glassing over the raw cores and then painting.
-
- If I should try glassing (something I have never done before...at least not
- like this) what weight of glass? And do I use epoxy thinned or polyester resin?
-
- What are the techniques that have been tried. Please post or send
- email and I will post a summary.
-
- Thanks in advance,
-
