I covered mine with 1 1/2 oz cloth. Seems to have held up well. Jim Faughn 891JF

I think the deck cloth is a good idea over open weave cloth, but it is just something to peel off of the plywood. Using smooth prime and feather fill, you can get a great finish on plywood.

As long as I knew him (from 1970 to his death) he never had an engine fall off so he must have been right.
