do not use spray, use Zapp Goo ore shoo goo, a stable net an something to put the glue flat.
Thats it. Is you're net thin and you flatten the glue, the layer will also be thin and lighter.
The net has to be flexible and stable in the same time. I use sometimes net from Kevlar fibers.
But them are expensive.

sure you can use spray but depends of the thickness you will put more weight in top direction of the car.
I try always to keep the balance between weight and stability.
So i find out in the past that I had to keep the amount of glue low and as thin as possible.
More glue never made it more stable, it is just make the body heavier.
The stability itself mainly comes from the net structure and the flex and adhesive strength of the glue.
For the maximal covering with thin lexan bodys I put on 2 layers net but the second layer is turned by 45° diagonal And i glue it in one way. ( both layers at the same time)
Just my experience, and that must not be the same than yours.

Yes it does add weightDoes taping and spraying the body as seen above add a lot weight? There looks to be a lot of rubber spray on there!
Is it necessary to reinforce every part of the body? With my Nero the front and sides of the body take almost no damage, but the back is completely shredded. It seems to me that reinforcing the weak points and leaving the strong points alone would be a good balance between high strength and low weight. Thoughts?
How did the shell reinforcing go on the Outcast ?
I started using this Herculiner painted on bed liner on the bodies and under side of flat chasis. It is the most durable I've found.
