Personally, I would go with the fiberglass and resin. Fabric and dope
works, but glass should last forever.

Oh, I've been told that the surface under the glass must be as smooth as the
finish you want to achieve.


Too heavy! Doped Ceconite (or Stits) essentially last forever, too, as
long as you keep the bird hangared. And -- you can get a mirror finish,
if you desire. The secret is lots of thin coats of dope, sanded between
coats, then polished.
