Hey,
I have never fiberglassed a plane before and need help. I have already read as many "how to"s as i can, but still have some questions.
I was looking at these two resins.
One is: Epoxy Bond Fiberglassing Resin 430 (750ml - should be enough for TF P47 .60, yea?)
This Epoxy resin has 68min pot life at 25 degrees C which i think is good because it will give me more time to work with it as a beginner and would be good to mix with micro ballons.

The other one: Polyester Fiberglassing Resin 475 (1 litre)
This Polyester resin has 20min pot life at 20 degrees C, which i think is a bit fast, and probably way to fast for mixing with micro ballons.

The only other thing is, the MEKP Catalyst only has a shelf life of 3 months, which means each plane i done, ill have to buy more MEKP - its only $7, so its not much. How long is the life sheft for epoxy resins????
What are the advantages/disadvantages of Polyester over Epoxy and Epoxy over Polyester?
Are there any other products that i will need for glassing?
Cheers,
Daniel
