Hello all

Im looking for suggestions as to what materials I should use regarding 
delimitation
and cracking on the Europa main wing and fuselage.

With so many advancements in available materials, I feel overwhelmed in making
my purchase decisions. Further more, I have no practical experience, only 
theoretical
based on what I have read and watched on the internet.

Issues:
Fiberglass delaminate spots on main wing (core not effected).
Filler/bondo (dry micro??) delaminate spots on main wing.
Hairline cracks (spiderweb) on fuselage and cowl

So with this in mind, the following list is what I think I need to purchase but
need suggestions on.
1. Which resin should I use:
        a. Epoxy, polyester, laminating, gel coat, etc 
        
2. Faring compound for pits and surface shaping
        a. Bondo, filler, dry micro, etc

*Please recommend brand names and type of product so I can track it down and 
purchase.


Finally, I know that the Europa uses unidirectional and bidirectional cloth, but
for some reason I cant seem to locate what thickness I should get.

Again, I am a novice at this so any advice as to what materials I should buy and
where, would be very appreciated.

Thank you
