West Systems Epoxy
Hey John,
Thank you for the data.... I never realized that there was that big of a difference in temp ratings. I'll pay a little more attention to that in the future, although I typically use Aeropoxy to put my fuse formers in anyways. Curious what is used in the layup of different manufacturers glass fuses now. Also, what about poleyester resin? (i.e. older Yellow kits & Byron?) I can't really recall anybody ever complaning about a fuse warping or delaminating, other than improper turbine installs to start with, so maybe this really isn't a problem?
Anyway, it's still good to know!
Kevin, I use this stuff for most of my general construction work also, including glass cloth & CF around hatches, formers, etc., so I guess that's still considered laminating even though it's construction? I think the difference here is that the West Systems epoxy isn't directly marketed as a "finishing resin" like Z-Poxy, polyester resin, etc. Personally, I think it makes a great all around adhesive.
Thanks,
Bob
