I saw where 3 coats of West Systems epoxy were recommended. I was told quite a few times in the past, that once the glass fibers were impregnated with resin (the cloth becomes clear) there was no significant advantage strength-wise to adding more resin. All that would happen would be an increase in weight. The instructions were to use a lightweight filler to get the surface smoothness, once the glass was "resined". Was this incorrect?? I glassed my wings some time back using a nice rubber squeegie I got from a boat/canoe supplies shop and stopped after one thorough fill coat - then light wet sanded and set aside for a later set of primer coats. Did I mess up?? Dave Lamphere
