I'm about to cover the wing on my model2 with fiberglass wing tips and 13.5gallon fiberglass  gas tank do I prime with ep-420 on the fiberglass before starting the covering or will the poly brush be enough? I'm using stits poly-fiber dacron 1.8 oz but didn't find in the manual about fiberglass.

on my avid, I brushed on 3 coats of poly tac, then per the manual, layed on the fabric, and brushed on a coat of 50/50 thinner and poly tac.  I used the "thickster" nitrile gloves from the paint department at the local auto parts store and really work the fabric into the polytac to assure a good adhesion.  I rib stiched too for piece of mind..

Jerry,



Go with Leonard's procedure.  Polybrush is definitely not enough.  Don't ask 

me how I know.
