Glass Cloth
| Excellent for reinforcing critical strength areas of model airplanes such as the firewall attachment, wing center section, and landing gear installation. Model boat builders use it for covering the bottom of a wooden boat hull for extra strength and puncture resistance. Use polyester glass resin or slow-drying epoxy glue to saturate the Glass Cloth and adhere it to the model structure. |

| Glass Cloth and resin can also be used to mold entire model parts, such as a whole airplane fuselage.Cowlings, wheel pants, and any other model parts that have a lot of compound curves are also especially suited to fiberglass construction. Some modelers use the ultra-light weight Glass Cloth as a covering material for their entire model, especially when epoxy or enamel paint is going to be used. It's super strong and goes around compound corners with ease. Glass is one of the strongest textile fibers, having greater tensile strength than steel wire of the same diameter. Chemically treated to enhance glue/resin adhesion. |
