Default RE: Nitro Tank
Props,

I have used both West Systems epoxy and Vinyl Ester resin for making tanks. I prefer West Systems by far.

Aeropoxy (as in BVM Aeropoxy, or Hysol 9462) is not a laminating resin, it is an epoxy glue. That is what I use for joining tank halves once they are molded and gluing in fittings, but it is not acceptable for laying up kevlar or fiberglass parts. You need a laminating resin for that.
