Hopefully this information will help other modelers out there as well.

Just one thing on the bubbly resin (after vigorously mixing)... The way to remove the bubbles is to pour the resin mix into another cup, but from a height so there is only a very fine stream of resin, I find this greatly helps removing the air bubbles which of course are the enemy for bonding, but then again would be your friend for fillets.
The best method of degassing mixed resin is to put the mixing cup into a vacuum chamber and slowly pull vacuum until the bubbles are gone.
