[NSRCA-discussion] thinning epoxy, how?

[michael s harrison]

Jason,
The quality of epoxy is very important because of heat and soluability
issues.  The 5 and 30 minute epoxies are a poor choice because they will not
hold up to heat or soluables. They will become rubbery and absorb fuels.
Consider the better laminating epoxies.  The best off the shelf is probably
Z-poxy or equivilant. Others are better still, but become costly because of
quantity purchase requirements. Also, for best results do not thin but put
on and wipe very thin,  do a couple of coats for longevity and integrity.

Just mix some in a cup, and then pour in a little less than that much in 
acetone. Stir and serve at room temp.....LOL BTW since the acetone slows 
down the curing process, 5 minute works fine too.

Cool looking plane BTW, this the 120 size?
