Status: offline 		Is the "30 minuite epoxy" that is available in hobby shops or "JB Weld" impervious to solvents such as gasoline? I've used them both for many years in model building and they do resist glowfuel, but I'm not sure with gasoline. Does anyone have any first-hand experience with these epoxys and "solvents"? If neither of them are suitable, what brand or type of adhesive can I use?
Thanks

I am building a full scale Long EZ and a lot of the newer epoxies are not fuel proof even though advertized to be. One Cozy crashed because his tank was made with epoxy that was not fuel proof. If tends to get white flecks in it at first and clogs things up fast. Check it out before you use it on something that matters.
