I built my KR2 wings etc., with Vinylester Resin but I had to do smaller areas because it set up kind of fast. I used small wax free 4" paper mixing cups and mixed the resin & hardener as needed for that area I was glassing at the time. Would of been neat to have a one hour set up time with

I am wondering how much Aeropoxy I will need for wing construction on my KR2S. How much should I have on hand while laying up the fiberglass ? I plan just one layer of glass at a time with peel-ply.Is there is a method to figure how much to mix for a given area ? From previous experience

The ratio of Resin to Hardener for AeroPoxy is 1 part Resin to .27 part hardener and this is by weight, which I forgot to mention before. The ratio is the same no matter what you are using it for, Micro, Flox, Fiberglass, Carbon Fiber. It has to be the same. Put your cup on the scale and set

First, you need to remember to change the subject when you are changing the subject. Your question had nothing to do with "Wingspan". I almost deleted it because I have read enough about wingspan. The ratio for mixing AeroPoxy is 1 resin to .27 hardener. For sealing the foam with the Micro

Hi John, The usual suspects for uncured area of epoxy are inadequate mixing, expired shelf life, surface contamination or incompatibility with something in the substrate. Assuming none of these, the epoxy should cure at 64 degrees as witnessed by the fact that some of it did which left you
