[NSRCA-discussion] glassing a fuse

[Bill Glaze]

Interesting.  When I built my (racing) boat, I used "Aliphatic" resin for fibreglassing without knowing just what it was.  I later found out that it meant that it had a fibrous structure caused by glass fibers contained in the resin.
Presumably, it is available without such fibers; I used it only because the Naval Architect and Glenwood Marine, (my  supplier) had it in stock  and said that it was the stuff to use.

  I am about to glass my 1st fuse.  I;ve read all the threads on how to's but I have question I've not seen covered by anyone.

  Looking at laminating epoxys I see pigment available. in my past I fiberglassed an old wooden boat and added pigment to the resin BUT I had no clue how to properly apply glass/resin and didn't care about weight. I learned a lot about what NOT to do.

  I have not seen any reference by anone to using pigment in their resin when glassing a plane.  Why not.
  is it weight  or lack of ability to see the wood underneath for finish sanding or something altogether different thaht I haven't thought of.

  Just curious.
