Should I thin the epoxy any? It is a JM modelcraft Mini Star .40 size sport pattern foam wing core, fiberglass Fuse, balsa tail feathers. I am going to change ir from a trike gear to a tail dragger.
If you thin it with anything you may risk eating the foam, acetone, etc. Warm the epoxy to get it to flow, use 1 hour or more. If you try 5 min, and warm it it will most likely harden in your syringe before you inject it.
You can use rubbing alcohol, a little is all that is needed, to thin epoxy. Shouldn't hurt the foam.
