EasyGlas Sock per foot (2 sizes)
Finally, an easy way to fiberglass your bodytube! Sold by the foot, Easyglas Sock™ is a stretchy sleeve that fits over your airframe to make laminating a breeze.
The Problem: Traditional fiberglassing methods are tricky, and involve wrapping the cloth around a tube, lining up edges and removing air bubbles. Fiberglassing is time consuming, really messy, frustrating, sliver attracting, dangerous and worst of all, leaves an overlap ridge that has to be sanded down. In short, it's a royal pain!
Problem Solved! Finally there's an easy way to glass your tube – with the Easyglas Sock™..
The Easyglas Sock™ is not fiberglass, but is made of a material that readily absorbs resin and adds structural strength.It works beautifully. Best of all, it finishes easily, smoothly and without the risk of inhaled glass fiber. The Easyglas Sock™.is about as thick as 3 or 4 oz fiberglass cloth.
Tech Tip:
- Slide Easyglas Sock™.over dry airframe and tie the loose ends with twist-ties.
- Mix your resin and apply thoroughly over the Easyglas Sock™.. Squeegy excess material and rotate tube occasionally while resin cures. (We recommend Aeropoxy Resin™)
- Once cured, lightly cut down high spots with sandpaper, then prime with several coats of extra thick filler primer (available at department stores). Be sure to sand between coats of primer.
That's it!! Trim the ends and you're ready to paint!
If you have feared fiberglassing yourself – for a variety of excellent reason Easyglas Sock™. is the perfect lamination solution for you.
