Status: offline 		It's good to thin the first coat,, and put it on as thin as possible,
Typically you just want to get it to stick to the wood on the first coat, then sand very lightly and apply the second fill coat.


Apples and Oranges??

Remember to thin Epoxy resin with alcohol (I just use inexpensive Rubbing alcohol, which is mostly water),
and poly resin with the compatible reducer, I don't think Poly resin and alcohol mix (I can't remember Haven't used poly in years)

Status: online 		Someday I'm gonna try poly-u for a glass job. I read from someone here on rcu about a test he did. Glassed two test panels. When cured, he pulled off the glass. The poly-u was just a tad easier to pull off. But by his discription, it wouldnt have made any difference. Both worked great and stuck down good enough.

There is another thread in Kit Building that talks about how to apply http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_6279653/tm.htm

Nice work on your Beaver. Looking at the Unionville kits for winter project.
