    I know a couple of you guys used this. First, after gluing all the foam in the body, smoothing it out, is it better to glass it first or put cloth over it and then glass it?

    Thanks, T-Bucket Bob

    When I made my transmission tunnel I used a sticky mesh tile tape. It would stick to the surface of the foil as well as the glass. When I used the foam I would wet the foam with resin to give the glass something to stick to and help keep it from sliding around a little. Hope this helps.

    As Jimbo01 said when I did mine I put resin down first then added cloth, as many layers as needed, otherwise the cloth is difficult to secure in place.
