RE: BVM Aeropoxy question?
I am using mostly 9462 ( stays slightly flexible and slow to cure, perfect for gluing formers in a fuse when you need time ), E-20NS ( cures very hard, 20 min potlife, non sag, used for most of the general gluing ), E-20 HP ( flows in cavities, transparent, 20 min potlife, perfect for gluing hinges, control horns, anything that goes in a thin slot ).
Be very careful with 9462. 90% of the tubes have air bubbles that will completely screw up your mixing. Systematically put new tubes in the oven at 60°c/140°F for 1 hour and then centrifugate them with your harm, head facing toward the center of rotation, so that the air bubbles moves up to the tube's head. Then store all the 9462 tubes head up. When you open up a new tube, first squeeze it without any tip on until both components flow equally. That might take up to 2 inches of glue...

I've been using the Hysol 9462 where construction calls for epoxy. Titebond and CA elsewhere. West Systems now offers a "thickened" epoxy which is very cost attractive. 190 ml for $18. I bought a tube to try in a future build. Has anyone else purchased and used this stuff?

Just buy the stuff from BV... I know guys that buy the Hysol brand and its the same price. We all know it's the same glue, so why not buy it from and support a RC vendor.... No air bubbles yet !!!!

RE: BVM Aeropoxy question?
Hi,
Not to rub it in, but my neighbor knocked on my door just now and handed me my box from McMaster's. He said it showed up at 3pm, and the UPS guy gave it to him when I didn't answer the door. That's just under 24 hours after I ordered the Hysol.
Ya can't beat dat wit a bat.

RE: BVM Aeropoxy question?
I use the West 610 stuff at work and at home sometimes. It uses a regular caulking gun for dispencing but a lot is used up in the very large mixing tips. I just squeeze it out and mix it up when I need pre thickend glue, not as strong as the BVM stuff but flows when you are bagging carbon over foam into voids and is the same as West Systems just already thickend. For High strengh stuff I still use the BVM epoxies.

RE: BVM Aeropoxy question?
Thanks Ron. I agree that the nozzle is very large and I do not plan to use it. I'll mix on one of the soft plastic container covers that my wife saves for me from her lunch. It's good to know that 610 has strength limitations and I'll use it along with Hysol as the situation dictates..

Not to kick a dead horse but same could be said about one of your comments in another thread. No double standards here! FWIW I used to buy the hysol from McMaster Carr as well, but it is just as easy to order from BVM.

Andy,
Same deal with me and the tolerance to many epoxy and epoxy type paints and glues. Took a long time in my younger days for my body to tell me I was a dumb A** for not using a resperator. So now I use a resperator and a well vented room when I use any of these compounds. Seems to work for now. But the real story here kids is to follow the instructions and take the recommended precautions when using this stuff. The effects of many of these compounds on your body are cumulative and can really put a dent in your enjoyment of the hobby.

Ha!
You done reading that novel yet?
That was the short version, too. Anyway, since the horse ain't quite dead, I don't think it's the same thing. In one case, I overreacted to what I perceived as as an unprovoked personal attack. I imagine if I had gone all racial with it, Charles would have dropped me like a hot rock....especially if I already had a long history of embarrassing schoolyard antics on here including flaming people from behind fake RCU identities. Even if I do occasionally get to fisticuffs in here with people, I at least try to occasionally be a good rep and help fellow modelers with information from time to time. I can't remember seeing much of that from Justin (unless the fellow modelers needed help with which network to avoid if they don't want to see "wiggers")...

I'll never use that stuff again.. Its strange that I haven't had the problem with other epoxy. Oh, and I tried a respirator, that didn't work. Maybe I was using the wrong type.

Andy,
Was there any irritation with the eye-watering? I'm asking because I've noticed that my eyes itch and sting in the morning after working with these glues.
