Default RE: resin vs epoxy

Sorry to hear you didn't like the Deft system. I have never had a problem with the glass lifting using it, mater of fact the last two glassed planes I crashed didn't look that bad as I walked up to them, the glass was on so well it was holding all the wood together so they looked better then they really were. I'm getting this one ready to paint too using both the old Hobby POxy and Klass Kote. Waiting on the yellow KK but just started setting it up. I have used both primer and un-primed and found the KK sticks very well without the primer. I just wipe them down with lacquer thinner and paint. After doing the weave filler coat there is nothing to fill with primer. The Deft leaves a nice smooth finish on the plane without even sanding marks, it's very smooth and blemish free. In the photos I was just testing the old Hobby Poxy hardener part B with the Klass Kote blue. I have to mount the plastic wind screen over the fuse before painting so I can use a filler to blend it into the fuse then mask and paint. Going to try to brush on the main KK color this time instead of using a spray gun then do the other three colors with an air brush.
I just find the Deft easier for me then either the poxy or resin. I am using the Poxy to make the glass cowls though. I do like the Z-poxy for making glass cowls much better then the Deft. Deft is pretty hard on the foam plug!!
