Installing the windows is coming up fast .... what fiberglass are y'all
using on the outside around the windows to prevent paint cracking???
Source?
ACS has 8 Oz. cloth tape but I believe I really want thinner stuff.

To be honest, I can't remember the weight. I used two layers of whatever it was. It's been a year and a half. No cracks yet.

I used the "standard" e glass:

with 2-3 layers around each window. You of course will need to add mico on
top of the glass to get it feathered into the canopy top.
On the windshield I use carbon fiber for the fuselage to windshield joint.
I'm happy with the outcome.

At model airplane shops you can get some very nice low profile tightly woven tape.

I've been flying for three years with no cracks around the windows. I used the standard E-Cloth Carl mentioned. Having said that, I do have a small crack at the top of the windshield that I need to fill. Maybe I should have used the carbon fiber Carl mentioned....
