I am in the process of building a Ziroli B-25 and a Don Smith B-17. All of my building experience is covering with Monokote. I have never covered with fiberglass. I would like to hear as many opinions as possible of the techniques of glassing using epoxy verses using polyurethane. I have read only one article using epoxy and one article using polyurethane. I am still not sure which way to go. So I would greatly appreciate any comments.

Thanks for the comments. I have read your article and found it to be very informative. It seems that all methods have their good and bad points and depends on which one you want to put up with. Is any method any stronger than the other?
Thanks again for your help. Joe

I found them all to be equal. remember glassing is mainly for finish looks it doesnt add a lot of strength but it does add some strenght. the bottom line is whatever tripsd your trigger.
