I've seen on these forums that some people have had issues with the kevlar tanks splitting out at the seam. Does anyone have information on this? I know there are only a few laminating epoxies that are intended for use with kevlar. They have special formulations. Could this be causing this? In my experience, the material always fails before the adhesive.
Not really a problem if the seams are glued correctly. Overlapping seams are the best and need to be roughed up with course sandpaper to get a good bond. The Hysol products (BV's Aeropoxy and Vpoxy) work very well in this application.
