I used the FPL 16A for my entire project for gluing wood. It says the mix is critical but I had no problem mixing ( 10:1) as little as 5 teaspoons at a time. I used measuring spoons and baby food jars. If I needed a large batch I'd put all my part one measures in the jars and then just add the part two amount as I was ready to stur and use. I tried mixing a large batch all at once in the summer heat and it all fired at once while I was holding the pot. Whee doggie, instant heat!! I overcame the drawback in color mentioned above (it is white) by just painting the the inside of the cockpit from the baggage area forward. The EAA book on wood lists the FPL 16A as the best of all wood epoxies at the time of printing. It seems a bit thin but for vertical joints a bit of "flox" can be added. Larry Flesner
