Dubi You are correct on all counts. Other hints are: A-Using peel ply will leave a smoother finish with less sanding later on. B-If you are using urethane foam, wipe down the cured glass with a lightly dampened (with denatured alcohol) cloth to remove the waxy residue that epoxy generates in the curing process. This will make sanding easier and faster. Omit this if you are using styrene foams. Alcohol will attack/melt the foam if not totally protected. Not all foams require slurry. Some urethanes are dense enough to simply apply wet epoxy to, then lay your cloth on and stiple and squeegee off the excess. Good luck. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dubi Gefen" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, August 22, 2005 2:01 PM Subject: KR> Procedure to cover glass cloth on foam.
