Hi John, Why do you want to glass the prop? Seems like a lot of work and you may have difficulty balancing as the final step. Usually the old finish is sanded off just enough to remove nicks, scratches and provide a smooth surface to refinish. The original finish will have penetrated the surface but you don't have to cut that deep to remove all the original material. I have used the traditional spar varnish and polyurethane. The easiest is the poly because you can spray it. The backside of the prop that is visible from the cockpit should be sprayed flat black over the varnish and the front side tips ( about 4" ) should be white or some bright color for visibility. Use spray epoxys for the black and white. As the final step, check the balance and correct any unbalance by adding coats to the backside or tips.
