Which is lighter to use on fiberglass cloth? I need it to reinforce the tail on an hlg so I don't want to add too much weight if I can help it!

TIA
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
I would reccomend thin CA. If you lay the cloth tightly on the surface and wick the CA into it the weight gain is very reasonable and the reinforcement is not affected by heat if you are going to cover over it with heat shrink stuff. Be prepared for some strong fumes, this stuff kicks off very rapidly on fiberglass.
