Mike, The problem with the two part foam, is that it does not "STOP" expanding. You may think that it has stopped, then when it is sitting on the ramp on a 90 degree day under full sun, you start seeing blisters coming up on your wing skin. I don't recommend this approach. See N64KR at

I have a different opinion on this. Give yourself plenty of room, maybe an inch or so, and even more, from spar to spar end at the attach points, extending enough fore and aft for getting your fingers in there to attach the wings. Then make some good gap covers like the ones you can see at:

KR> Vinylester vs T-88

When using the Diehl skins, you should use VE because that is what they are made with. I don't think that T-88 should be used because you need to use a resin and flox mixture for attaching the skins to the spar. You don't want to try to do that with T-88. Wear a respirator, gloves and safety

Using Peel Ply is never "Required". It is good when you will need to add another layer, or just to bring the resin up to the top to eliminate a lot of the sanding and pin holes. Larry is right on the Deck Cloth. I agree on everything except on using it on the wood as I think this is unnecessary

KR> So the sanding begins
