Hello All,
Am about to start work on my Dan Diehl wing skins. Spars and ribs are done.
Ready to mount to the fuselage. Have the video re: setting the dihedrahl and
think I can follow it.
Question #1. When I ordered everything it came with some flox to stiffenup the
mixture when I start using it. When I check the video it looks like it has
been mixed to a consistency of peanut butter (not free flowing). So what is
the formula? MEK to resin is 2%. How much flox?
Question # 2. Can I use a little less hardener? 2% sets up fairly quickly.
If I dropped it to 1.5% would that buy me more application time but not weaken
the final product?
Any advice on anything even remotely connected will be appreciated. Any tricks
or tips that could make the job easier/better?
Intention is to place the bottom skins only. Then will set the aluminum fuel
tanks, run wires for lights, set up tie downs etc.
Top skins and final ribs will be in the future (hopefully near future).
Thanks for the response.
