From: [email protected] Subject: KR> any better resins to use? To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" I suggest using FPL-16A sold at Aircraft Spruce. It is mixed 10 to 1 by volume and is easy to use. I used it in '79 and it has held up fine all these years. Basically it's Shell epon (#862) that has been thinned down and has titanium dioxide added to it as a filler. That's why it's white in appearance. It is also FAA certified. West is good to use for less critical structures. Over at Lancair we used it for filler with micro and flox. I've used it to laminate up my prop blank and have lots of hours on it. One good thing about Shell 862 is that it is high temp. stuff. The bad thing about it is that the hardener is toxic. -Joe >Hi netters, > I am about to start on my "boat" and ordered everything I think I need to finish this stage of the project... I bought >the T-88 glue and bought some of the WEST SYSTEM EPOXY... Aircraft Spruce was saying that this is easier to mix than the >AEROPOXY system epoxies.... TRUE OR FALSE? Is there a better composite epoxy out there then West? If so, what is it? Who >makes/sells it? Also I was looking through Mark Langfords online manual thing and saw that he was using mircoflux.... >what is it and where do you get it? I couldnt find it in the Aircraft Spruce catalog. Any advise will help thanks.
