Ray. I had 3 helpers, 4 would have been better. Have everything including the clamps READY, Do a dry run first so they all know what is about to happen.
1- YES a mixture that will on run off the sticks used to spread. DO NOT SPARE IT, us heaps , BUT pain a good coat of normal V/Ester before applying the past to all areas to be stuck. AS for the mix, I will not comment, as I'm not sure of you V/Ester resin you are using. Ask Dan. Good luck, It is a great felling when you stand and look at the finished job.

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.
