REFLECTOR: fuel

[Dennis Martin]

For new builders, consider using "Veil" on bottom of your strakes. This is
something I learned from Malcolm Collier. It's a very thin layer of fiber
glass that he puts on the bottom of the strake before applying Jeffco. This
adds an extra bit of integrity to the fuel tank bottom and should help
reduce pinhole leaks. I also painted two extra coats of Jeffco as added
insurance. You can buy Veil at your local hobby shop.
