[NSRCA-discussion] Epoxy Question

[J N Hiller]

I have been reluctant to try it thinking I would screw it up. How much do
you put on? How much weight is needed to contain the expansion.

If this question was raised as a method for skinning wings, then why not use
urethane glue. One part, spreads easy and cures hard and quickly with plain
ole 02moisture.  Gives ample working time and unlike epoxy will expand with
moisture to fill voids and between foam beads.  Available at local hardware
stores and less expensive.

Seems like a no-brainer to me.
