Hey Arty

Yes i use Onion bags from the store and clips to hold it tight

Put your base coat down first let dry and then put the mesh on and paint the top coat let dry and you are all ready for the Epoxy.

I use E-tex from Michels ... But a lot of guys use Devcon 2 ton epoxy ...Watch the 5 min stuff its not waterproof and turns yellow...

anything else just ask away

this is one i did a while back...

So do you brush on the epoxy ? Iv been doing rattel cans and Iv tried high gloss clear coat but it doesnt shine like id like it too

yes sir...you will need a acid brush "the brush you would see in a can of flux to solder with "

you can find them in the plumbing section in any home depot. little metal Handel brush...

thanks for all your help Guys

Like redbass said below, make sure it's dry. In the past, I've done quick passeds with a hairdryer to make sure its dry
before I remove the wrap. If you are just starting with
scaling I suggest doing a quick mist of envirotex spray before you scale, just make sure it's dry first. that way if you make a mistake you can
wipe it off without disturbing your underlying paint.
