One way to help decide is to take two identical sized pieces of scrap plywood. Fill one with whatever filler and the other with the deck cloth and epoxy. Then weigh. I covered my fuselage ply and wing/tail skins with deck cloth. I used a heat gun or hair dryer to help soak up the resin. A few areas I needed to add resin to the deck cloth, so basically the wieght of the cloth is the only penalty (on the wing). Also as stated, the pin holes are far and few between. When covering the plywood with deck cloth, you will find the resin goes a long way. My plug is to go for it. Roger Baalman rbaalman at cox.net
