Hello Gang, Nothing like confusing the whole issue. Introduce a new system instead of just glass and resin. If one want to fiberglass the bottom and sides use the vail 1/2 oz. or 3/4 oz fiberglass cloth however, my KR is 20 years old and now out at the west coast, in a high humidity area with no cracks or damage to any part of the fuselage. There have been times that I had water in the fuse but I put drain holes at each cross member 1/4 dia. the inside was waterproofed with epoxy and alcohol mix and not varnish, did not want to mix systems. Two applications of thinned epoxy sealed it real nice and this adds to another advantage if you want to glue to the inside one does not have to sand to get rid of varnish. This maintains one system throughout, glass and resin. Good Luck and Happy Building!
