I have a Skyshark P-40 Fiberglass Fuselage. I don't know what type of resin was used to construct and one of the guys said he called Skyshark and they said the fuselage was made with Polyester Resin.

I was trying to figure out if the 5 minute and 30 minute LHS epoxy was okay to use on the fiberglass since I am almost finished. I did sand the fiberglass prior to application of any epoxy. I also used hot glue in some areas but didn't sand.

I was going to lay up a little more fiberglass inside to strengthen some areas using the WEST SYSTEM so again will this be okay to us as long as I sand/rough up the area first?

Thanks again
