Default Question??? need answer

I have a slope glider kit that a guy gave me. He doesn't remember what he covered it with, but there is enough covering left for me to finish it.
It looks like .75 glass cloth, but it isn't glass. Got any ideas, I think it is silk. Next question, How do you put this on white foam.
I was thinking white glue diluted and painting it over it.
Need answer
Thanks
Scott

Cut a small piece off and light it. Glass won't light, silk will catch fire, dacron cloth will flare up and melt to a crisp.
Whatever it is, I'd use latex paint since it's over white foam.

Isn't the wing balsa sheeted?

No the wing is not sheeted.
But that is a very good idea for testing.
Thanks
