  Steve- Rubbing alcohol is a mixture of isopropyl and and water. Water bad. Epoxy hate water.......Plus amines (the epoxy hardener) really do not dissolve well in isopropyl. You are better off with methanol or denatured alcohol which is ethanol with a nasty taste killer so you won't drink untaxed alcohol.I do not know what epoxy you are using, but that center reinforcement is easy without cutting the viscosity. Bring it to my house I have lots of low viscosity resins.

  Guys, 
    
  I'm doing the fiberglass reinforcement over the balsa sheeting where the main wings are joined on a .60 size kit.  Can I use rubbing alcohol to cut the epoxy with to thin it just a bit?  Do you think that would cause me any problems?  It sure would make it easier. 
    
  Thanks, 
  Steve
