Default GREAT JOB

Well, I meant on molds where it is basically impossible to put tape in there unless the ends are open (like my mold). What type of "splooge" - material mixed with the epoxy to give it strength do you use on the joint?


I do not know off hand since mine have always been open on the ends, but I will makes some phone calls tommorow and find you a answer. I would imagine that you will be adding some milled fiberglass to the epoxy to keep the seam from being brittle and cracking and some Colloidal Silica to make it a gel so that it does not run.

Let me know if you need any lightweight panels for your project. I make really light weight firewalls, landing gear plates, servo trays, ect...


The pictures are great and you should really be proud of the work you've done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Regard's,
