Whats best to seal the foam? To stop glassfibre resing melting it?
Thanks Adrian

cling film worked for me when I wanted to stop fibreglass from sticking to my panels, raid the kitchen cupboard.

i'm taking a different approach... in the true locost spirit i'm doing the buck out of paper maché, then covering it with a hefty layer of
plaster to even it out... drawback is that it's very labour intensive (took me a week to get to this stage). heres the initial stage of the
nosecone...
after some comparison i still have to do some major modifications to it as the front aperture is too large, but it wont take long for results to
appear.

Hi Guys
I've tried paking tape before, works ok but you can see the tape marks in the fibreglass. I've just tried painting an offcut in pva to see
if it seals it
