<snip> I mold my own fuselages. I join them in the mold while both sides are still wet. It is a three hour process. With some of my fuselages I add details (Firewall, wing mounting blocks, etc) all that takes time. Hence my preference for the slow hardener. I also mold carbon props. It is a one hour process. I mix the two MGS hardeners for a shorter pot life. So for me there are plenty of scenarios where variable pot lives are important.

Man..I'd love some details on this as well!! Funny..I've been kinda dreaming of both adding details/joining the fuse while wet and doing props myself...I havn't yet decided I could do it though...Great to hear it's possible!!
As to West Systems...I'm pretty slow by nature...I normally bag all my stuff too which adds some time...I've not had any trouble with West Systems 105 and the 206 Hardner...I like it fairly well...
I also like PTM&W AeroPoxy...Especially for Arimid Fibers...
Have Fun...
