Default epoxy help

Hey there...


As far as thinning out the epoxy goes you can go ahead and use just some standard rubbing alcohol to thin out the 30min epoxy. Even if it seems like a fairly thin paste, it should still do the trick. I remember when i first glassed my wing together for strength I thinned it out and put it over the fiberglass mesh over the wing joint...let it dry overnight...and lemme tell ya, nothin is getting those wing halves apart. Also, I would think that coating your fuse with epoxy is a good idea, maybe you can brush a little thick CA on there and it would also do the trick.....maybe someone else will have a tip for that also.



good luck
