Good question Dan. I wasn't clear and forgot about the finishing stage. I used VE for the main structures and wetting out fiberglass cloth. When I filled, I did go to West Epoxy and their fillers (I believe it was 410 ultralite). I would double glove when filling. I cleaned the VE with Acetone before putting down the West and filler. I found West to be easy to sand.

I like the bonding characteristics. If people are going to use it, they need to know how to finish it. I have never been able to figure that out. The ailerons that Dan made for us, just gum up when sanding, even when using 36 grit paper. It is like bondo, until you get that outer gummy skin off of it, it is impossible to sand. There is a time for building and a time for FLYING and the time for building has expired. See N64KR at http://KR-Builder.org - Then click on the pics Daniel R. Heath - Columbia, SC See you in Mt.
