[NSRCA-discussion] glassing a fuse

[Richard Lewis]

Any reason the answer you got can't be shared here?  I think it was a good questions and would certainly be interested in the answer.

Thanks for the advise.
I am glassing a Pentathlon  Not doing a glass fuse layup. Sorry I wasn’t specific in my first post.
 
Verne sent me the answer I was looking for off line.
 
Thanks again everyone

That is sorta my thought. 
My question now is could the pigment help locate voids & hollows and thus decrease the need for primer coats and block sanding, or is that wishful thinking :-)
 
Verne, since I’m not doing a full glass lay-up I’m not really concerned with weakening the glass, after all most people thin the resin quite a lot first which weakens it also. I had the impression at the thickness used in this method it’s mostly a solid base for the paint?
 
This is all thinking out loud before I try me first attempt, so I appreciate the responses.
 
Eddie

Using pigment can help identify where the resin is too thick and needs to be removed.

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.
