Well, I've used it for clear coat, and it works as promised for that, but it doesn't necessarily make sense to me to use it as a laminating epoxy for structural composite work. It is watery enough to be potentially even thinner than you really want, like thin enough to actually cause problems. And since it's meant for use as a topcoat, I'm not sure it's formulated with pure structural strength as a top priority. Fiber penetration would be great initially, but I almost wonder if enough resin would remain under vac to do the skin bonding work, etc. On the other hand, I think it's very much worth a test run with the stuff on an un-needed wing segment. I'd do that with ANY new epoxy just to get the lay of the land.
